Direct cremation funeral plans comparison

The soaring cost of funerals in the UK means prepaid plans, particularly for direct cremations, are becoming more and more popular. Paying for your own funeral in advance means cremation costs are covered and your family won’t be left to foot the bill. This means it’s important to compare funeral plans so that you know exactly what is covered, and what you may need to pay extra for.

To help you find the best & cheapest funeral plan on the market, in the table below you can see what's included in the plans of 5 funeral providers.

With so many options out there to choose from, we know how difficult it can be to compare funeral plans and work out what’s best. So in the table below we look at the price, what’s included in each plan and additional extras to make finding the perfect funeral plan that bit easier.
