For plans payable over 5 or 10 years we incur additional administration expenses for collecting the monthly instalments and for the purchase and administration of a “whole of life” policy with Scottish Friendly. If you die after 12 months of the start of your plan, but before you have paid all your instalments, there is nothing more to pay.
If you’ve already taken out a funeral plan with us, then no. The price you’ve paid is guaranteed with no additional costs if funeral costs do increase in the future. However, the price of new plans may increase from what you see today.
