Golden Charter Funeral Plans

A funeral plan is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance. A plan allows you to

specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers

often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. 

A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service. The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.

At Delanoy Funeral Services Ltd, we work in partnership with Golden Charter to provide you with a simple way to plan ahead. As one of the UK’s largest funeral plan providers 1 , Golden Charter has helped nearly 1 million people to plan ahead 2 , so we’re completely confident in offering their plans to you.

Everyone has different needs when it comes to funeral planning, so we make sure the plans we offer are as flexible as possible. When you get in touch, we’ll be happy to discuss your funeral requirements and tailor a plan to suit you.
