Pre Payment Funeral Plans

Here at A Slade & Son, we are an independent family funeral directors and have partnered with Golden Charter to offer our funeral plans. Why? Because by law any funeral plan money must be held in Trust Fund. We are too small to run and administer a trust fund and so we have teamed up with what we feel is your best option.

Our pre-planning services can help you and your family plan ahead for end-of-life arrangements. We offer a range of options to fit your needs, including pre-need funeral planning, cemetery pre-planning, and cremation pre-planning.

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 A Slade and Son, 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 providers1, Golden Charter has helped over 900,000 people to plan ahead2, 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. Rest assured a plan from Golden Charter is available to all UK residents, regardless of age or state of health.
