James Cockburn Funeral Directors work in partnership with funeral plan provider Golden Charter. If you have any questions, call us on 01414451124 and speak to our funeral directors.

How do funeral plans work?

Golden Charter funeral plans let you lock in the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices, saving your loved ones from having to cover those costs themselves at the time of need. Even if prices rise in the future, once your plan is paid for you’ll have the reassurance of knowing there’ll be nothing more to pay for your funeral director services – guaranteed. Our plans also include an allowance towards third party costs, such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service.
