Golden Charter Direct Cremation Plans

More and more people choose to plan ahead. A Golden Charter Direct Cremation funeral plan provides a way for you to make arrangements in advance for a dignified direct cremation. What’s more, a funeral plan offers total security and allows you to pay the cost at today’s prices.

We use Golden Charter Funeral Plans because they are the UK’s leading independent funeral plan provider.

The Direct Cremation plan is becoming more popular with customers who don’t want a traditional funeral service, but who do want to make their wishes known and avoid rising cremation costs.

Choosing to take out a Golden Charter pre paid funeral plan means you can pay for the cost up front and avoid leaving any financial burden for your loved ones. It also allows you to avoid rising costs.

You can also specify your wishes for the type of 'send off' you want, whilst making things easier for your family at a difficult time. And as our plan holders often tell us, that can be a big weight off your mind. A pre paid funeral plan offers total security and there are flexible payment options too.

Golden Charter is the UK’s market leader for providing pre paid funeral plans to Independent Funeral Directors since 1989. Your funds are placed into Golden Charter Trust and the trust will pay out for every plan that pays into it.

During the last few years and at its most recent valuation, the audited accounts of Golden Charter Trust have shown that it is over 100% funded. The net assets are in excess of £1 billion. As at March 2019, if all plans were cancelled by all plan holders, there are sufficient funds available to repay all plan holders. There is no better time to take out a funeral plan than today!
