If you are considering writing a new will or indeed updating your existing one, why not at the same time give thought to a pre-paid plan that would take full care of all your funeral expenses and arrangements.

What many people don’t realise is that even if they intend to fund their funeral from their estate proceeds, these monies are very often not available immediately after their death as the process of administering the estate has not even begun. Also the general assumption is that the funeral wishes we state in our will are exactly that, wishes. There is no guarantee that your chosen type of funeral will be honoured, this is mainly due to the fact that wills are very often not read until after the funeral and in some cases there simply may not be the budget within the estate funds if the wishes of the deceased are more unconventional. With a pre-paid plan you can choose exactly the funeral you would like, be it burial, cremation or maybe even a eco-friendly woodland burial or cardboard coffin. You can also choose the hymns and music for the day and the plan can also cater for any particular religious beliefs you have. The service really is totally bespoke for you and completely takes the responsibility of organising and paying for the funeral away from your loved ones at a time which is already stressful enough.

The plans can be paid either in a one-off lump sum or monthly instalments and to find out more just contact Will Assist Ltd on 0800 0029555
