Doing The Future.... My Way

Doing the Future.... My Way

We’ve all heard the adage ‘ There’s only two things certain in life, Death and Taxes’ and its true these come to us all. Whilst we can’t avoid them we can take measures to plan for them. We may not necessarily want Ol’ Blue Eyes to play us out, but do we want our families to pay out for what we do want?

Astonishingly the.cost of a funeral has risen by 70.6% in the past Decade. Unlike the weekly wage that has risen by only 20% , petrol prices 19.6%, House prices 19.8%, utility bills 42.2% and a Loaf of Bread 15.7%! On average a typical funeral now costs around £4078 (2017) an increase of 4.7% in just one year, a considerable sum for a family to find at such a difficult time*.

Many people use their chosen financial advise experts for guidance in the best return for investment or reducing our tax burden but so many people fail to factor the cost of dying into their future. And yet we all experience the speed of time and how the future is suddenly the NOW. Time and tide wait for no man, and yet frequently people die without having written a Will or having made plans for the costs incurred, not just by dying Intestate but also without thought to funeral costs.

Investing in a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan service gives you the ability to give peace of mind to your family. The reassurance that the cost of their funeral provisions are taken care of without difficulty or extra burden is a great thing. Unfortunately, many families experience the shock of the financial cost that a funeral incurs.
