Planning ahead with Midlands Direct Cremation
Planning ahead for your funeral is one of the most thoughtful and caring things you can do. Some people never get round to discussing funeral wishes with their loved ones, which can lead to all sorts of worry and anxiety when the time comes.
Taking out a funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way to remove worry, and it can provide real financial benefits too. Some of these include:
Our plans cover our direct costs for the services that Midlands Direct Cremation provide directly, they also contain a contribution towards third party costs, such as the cremation fees. These costs are outside of our control.
Our funeral plan is available to UK residents and there are no complicated medical forms to complete. You can also appoint a nominated representative who we will keep informed about your plan, according to your
instructions.
