About Open Prepaid Funerals
Open Prepaid Funerals Limited was formed in 2003 with the aim of providing a financially secure and ethical method of planning a future funeral by specialising in prepaid funeral plans. We offer a range of prepaid funeral plans, from a low-key unattended cremation to attended services designed to suit a variety of requirements. You can also create almost anything you require in our very detailed and unique bespoke plan.
The cost of your prepaid funeral plan depends entirely on the plan you choose, your personal preference and the level of service that you require. The expert team of Open Advisers will talk you through this on the telephone, online using a webcam, or if required, face to face.
Once set up, your payment is made into The Open Prepaid Funerals Trust Fund, where it is managed by professional fund managers, overseen by a board of trustees and independently audited annually. The trust deed has been created in such a way that its purpose is to offer greater protection to you the plan holder and your family or estate. We here at H Duckworth Funeral Directors Ltd will have the responsibility for the provision of your funeral on behalf of you through Open Prepaid Funerals.
Benefits of a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan
By choosing a prepaid funeral plan, this is a simple and practical way to let your loved ones know that everything is taken care of. Some of the main benefits include:
Removes Financial
Burden
As the funeral plan will be paid up front or in monthly instalments, this can reduce the financial burden on loved ones when the time comes.
Can Alleviate
Emotional Stress
Planning your funeral beforehand helps to alleviate added stress, but also provides a caring solution to decrease emotional stress on your loved ones.
Creates Peace
of Mind
Funeral dates depend on availability. Some factors such as whether you would prefer burial or cremation can affect timescales.
Individual
Personalisation
By choosing a prepaid funeral plan, you can decide on the theme of your own funeral yourself and ensure that everything is to your taste and personal preference ahead of the time.
Fixed Funeral Director Professional Fees
Although funeral plan prices may fluctuate due to inflation, the price of the funeral directors professional services is fixed at the time the plan has been bought – meaning that your plan is safe for years to come.
Contribution to Core Disbursements
Your plan may contribute towards third-party costs such as crematorium fees, an officiant, flowers, or obituary notices. These costs are not guaranteed to be fully covered, and your family or estate may need to pay the difference. See our terms and conditions for full details.
