What is not included in your plan: Medical certification fees. For deaths where a coroner investigation is required, there are no medical certification fees. Also, changes to legislation in May 2015 mean there will no longer be a charge for a medical certification for any deaths registered in Scotland. Similar legal changes are being considered for the rest of the UK, so we do not include provision for these fees in our Plans. If the funeral takes place outside of Scotland, and a coroner is not involved, then if applicable, the medical certification fees must be paid by the next of kin or personal representative, when arranging the funeral. Embalming, burial plot, memorial or headstone, flowers, catering/wake. Repatriation from outside mainland Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight. Costs for removing artificial limbs and mechanisms such as pacemakers. Costs associated with changes in regulations, tax, laws or generally accepted practice, which result in additional costs or affect the conduct of the funeral. This list is not exhaustive, so please refer to the Terms & Conditions for further information.

10 Things to Consider When Comparing Funeral Plans

Here are 10 things you will need to think about before taking out a prepaid funeral plan.

How Do Funeral Plans Work?

A prepaid funeral plan protects you against the rising costs of funerals, allowing you to pay for your funeral in advance so your relatives don’t have to cover all the cost themselves.

Ways to Save For a Funeral

You might be relying on money in savings or thinking about taking out an over 50s insurance policy, but neither of these options guarantee to cover funeral expenses in the future like a Prepaid Funeral Plan from Dignity does.
