Does the plan guarantee to cover the cost of specified funeral director's services, when required - no matter what the costs might be in the future? Check if there is more than one pre paid funeral plan as you may be prepared to pay more for a better pre paid funeral plan.
Is the funeral planning company a member of an established trade organisation such as the Funeral Planning Authority?
A pre paid funeral plan can remove the burden of funeral arrangements from relatives and friends, when the inevitable occurs.
