Fund funeral costs to save expensive bills for your family

Provided by Golden Charter, Funeral Funding is included as standard in our policies.

This allows the proceeds of your policy to be paid directly to the funeral provider, who will add an additional £300 contribution towards the cost of your funeral. If you choose a direct to cremation funeral, the £300 contribution will not apply.*

Funeral Funding is designed to give your loved ones less to worry about at a difficult time, but it's worth being aware that it's not the same as a Funeral Plan, so may not cover the full cost of your funeral.

Apply now

Read our Funeral Funding flyer for more information.

*A direct to cremation funeral means any cremation where there is a direct disposal service only and therefore no funeral service, funeral procession (or other services such as family viewing, limousine(s), embalming or delivery of ashes) and where the cremation is arranged at a crematorium at a date and time chosen by the allocated funeral director and without anyone attending other than the funeral director's staff.

Before you take out a policy

  • You won't have to pay for your cover once you reach age 90 but your cover will continue for life. If you stop paying premiums before age 90, the cover will cease and you won't be entitled to claim any money back.
  • The cash lump sum on death normally counts as part of your estate and so may be subject to inheritance tax.
  • It is also important to note that you could pay out more money in premiums than the policy pays out. Our Over 50s Life Cover is not a savings plan and has no cash-in value. Due to inflation, any amount paid out may not buy as much in the future as it would now.
  • Please read our Policy Summary, Terms & Conditions and Our Insurance Services Leaflet for more details.
