💙 Peace of Mind for the Future 💙
Planning ahead by taking out a funeral plan can be a thoughtful and reassuring decision - both for you and for those you love. A funeral plan allows you to set out your wishes in advance, protect against rising funeral costs, and ease the emotional and financial burden on your family when the time comes.
It’s important to know that funeral plans are now regulated by law. Since July 2022, all funeral plan providers in the UK must be authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This was introduced to give families greater protection, transparency, and peace of mind.
Under this law:
• Only FCA-authorised funeral plan providers can offer funeral plans
• Funeral directors can only offer plans if they are authorised themselves or acting as an Appointed Representative of an authorised provider
• This regulation ensures your money is protected and plans are sold fairly and responsibly
