Funerals are highly emotional and stressful. Having arranged a funeral plan in advance, on the other hand, can help in reducing the stress at such an unhappy time. It’s simply a way to pay for your funeral now at today’s prices.
A funeral plan is a means to protect your family against funeral costs, and to eliminate any uncertainty or indecision regarding your preferred funeral wishes and arrangements.
The passing of a loved one is obviously a very daunting and fraught time for family and friends, especially for those responsible for arranging and paying for the funeral. If local funds are not accessible, the family would be required to fund the funeral themselves and perhaps wait many months until Probate has been granted to recover their outlay from the deceased’s estate.
A MAPLEBROOK FUNERAL PLAN which costs £3,340 or €3,844 works in either Cyprus or the U.K. Our clients are covered whether they pass away here or back in the U.K. Money paid into a funeral plan is invested securely in a ring-fenced FCA Regulated Trust Fund and is overseen and managed by an independent panel of qualified Trustees.
Cremation is available if the funeral takes place in the U.K. but the cost of repatriation, if required, is extra.
The cost of a funeral can be spread over a period of, or up to, 15 years.
In Paphos, we work with Angel Guardians whom we have great respect for and hold in high regard.
Last spring, a will client and friend of mine passed away without having made funeral arrangements and I assisted the family back in the U.K. in organising the funeral. It brought home to me the importance of making arrangements in advance and not leaving such decisions to family members, at what is such a distressing time, living 2,000 miles away and requiring them to use a personal credit card to settle the cost.
