Paying for your plan

You don't need to pay everything today.

A traditional funeral in the North East typically costs around €7,000 — but you don't need that amount today to start planning. You can start with a deposit, contribute regularly, top up when it suits you or add lump sums over time.

If you choose a 3, 5 or 10-year package, your Funeral Director's fees are fixed from the date your plan is taken out. Making a deposit or contributions on their own doesn't fix the fees — we'll explain how it works when we call.

Your choice

Choose the Funeral Director you know and trust.

If you already have a local Funeral Director you'd like to look after your funeral, you can nominate them as part of your plan.

Do you already have a Funeral Director you'd prefer to use?

Independent holding

Understand where your money is held.

Your money is held independently.

The money you prepay is held by an independent trust called the My Farewell Wishes Trust, until it is needed.

Recording your funeral wishes

It's your family knowing what you wanted.

The most important part of a funeral plan isn't the funeral plan. With a plan in place, your wishes can be recorded, your chosen Funeral Director nominated and your family can know that the plan exists.

See what the funeral you have in mind could look like. It only takes a minute, and no personal details are needed.
