Bespoke prepaid funeral plans
We believe that you should have control over the choices made for your prepaid funeral plan, that is why we provide the Independent Way plan from Golden Charter.
The Independent Way plan is a fully flexible plan that can be customised to your specific wishes. Everything is considered, from the bigger decisions through to the smaller touches, to create a funeral that feels like a true reflection of you. Because everything is planned out in advance, this can also release some of the strain placed on your family after you have gone.
Paying for your funeral shouldn’t put a strain on your finances, and we offer flexible payment options to suit your circumstances. These include paying in one lump sum, staggering payments across a set period of time or paying monthly. Our aim is to help you create the funeral of your wishes at a price you can afford.
Golden Charter is one of the UK’s largest funeral plan providers2. Taking out the Independent Way plan gives you the best of both worlds – the security of taking out a plan with an established funeral plan provider, whilst receiving the personalised care and attention of working with a trusted independent funeral director.
