How much does a Funeral Plan Cost?

A Dignity Funeral Plan can vary in price, depending on what you choose.

We believe that your plan should be as unique as you are. We specialise in helping people record their unique wishes for their final send-off, however personal, creative or unusual they might be. We believe that every life is unique and special and so every funeral should be too.

We can capture your hopes and wishes for the day whilst providing some inspiration for you along the way. Whether you have planned a funeral before or this is the first time you’ve considered what that might look like, we can help inspire your celebration with stories of others and a guided journey to help capture the essence of the day you want.

Our online journey allows you to make a record of your preferences for the service itself, whether this includes any special readings, music or flowers you'd like. You can add in as much or as little detail as you wish.

All services provided by a Dignity Funeral Director, as set out in your funeral plan, are guaranteed. There are a number of elements you can include as part of your Funeral Plan that you may want to leave a monetary contribution towards. As an example you can contribute £100 towards the costs of flowers and when the plan is actioned the person arranging the funeral will have £100 plus any increase in line with CPI (Consumer Price Index) inflation towards the cost. We cannot guarantee that the contribution made will cover the full cost of the flowers and any difference will need to be paid at the time of the funeral. However, we will guarantee that the money you contribute now plus CPI will be available at the time of need.

Can I pay monthly for my Funeral Plan?

You can pay for your Dignity Funeral Plan upfront or you can spread the cost over 5 years (so long as this doesn’t take you past your 85th birthday). You won’t pay any additional administration fees for spreading the cost of your plan.
