Pre-Paid Funerals

About our pre-paid funeral plans

Planning ahead for your funeral is one of the most thoughtful and caring things you can do. Some people never get round to discussing funeral wishes with their loved ones, which can lead to all sorts of worry and anxiety when the time comes.

Taking out a funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way to remove this worry, and it can provide real financial benefits too. Some of the other benefits include:

  • Pre-arrange the details of your funeral and record any special wishes, such as hymns, music choice and any other personal touches you would like your plan to include
  • Make financial provision for your funeral
  • Choose your funeral director in advance
  • Ensure your family has access to expert help at what can be a difficult time.

Our funeral plan is available to UK residents and there are no complicated medical forms to complete. You can also appoint a nominated representative who we will keep informed about your plan, according to your instructions.

Our plans cover our costs (as specified in the plan paperwork) as long as we carry out the funeral and your requirements don’t change. You can also make a contribution towards third party costs, such as the cremation fees. These costs are outside of our control.

How your funds are held

All funeral plan pre-payments are held in an individual whole of life assurance policy for your peace of mind.

Backed by a trusted, national provider

Paul showed great compassion & gave great advice and direction to our family at a very difficult time. Being able to come to our family home, made things a lot easier when planning our Nan’s funeral

-- Mrs H. Brown

“

We chose Morse funeral services because we had recommendations and read the reviews on line. What you can't get through reading the reviews is the actual care and dedication that Paul puts into the quality of service he provides. Paul started as just a man who took on dad's funeral but left as a member of our extended family.

-- The Hopcroft Family

I was privileged enough to have Paul look after my mums funeral 8 months ago. So when my dad passed it was an obvious choice to ask him to look after my dad. His attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. The care and understanding makes the whole process bearable. I would never use anyone else.

-- K. Friend

“

Amazing service from arranging the funeral to the day of the service. Paul was very understanding to the requests we made, he went above and beyond. You will not get a better funeral director.

-- D. Bala

“

I am not sure if there are words sufficient to express the gratitude we have for the care we have received from Paul and the team during our time of grief, nothing was too much for him!. The costs were very reasonable and all of the information you need is available on their website which wasn't the case for the others we looked at. Someone told me you get a gut feeling when you find the right person to support you during your time of grief; Morse funeral services went above and beyond!
