What funeral costs do I need to cover ?
Whilst the cost of the funeral director’s services is included in your plan, there are other costs you need to consider.
Third Party Costs
The Select Plan includes a £1,100 allowance towards third party costs which can be used towards burial or cremation fees and minister or officiant fees. However, there may be other essential, non-funeral director charges to pay for. Bennetts Funeral Directors cannot control these costs, and these fees need to be paid at the time of the funeral.
The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan
