Can you explain the difference between a fixed-price package and a custom funeral arrangement?

Yes. We can talk you through what is included in a fixed-price package and explain how a custom arrangement allows you to choose individual elements based on your wishes and budget.

Will I know the funeral costs before making arrangements?

We aim to make costs clear from the beginning, so you understand the pricing structure before confirming arrangements. If you choose a package, we'll explain exactly what it covers.

Can payment options be discussed over the phone?

Yes. If calling feels easier, we can discuss payment choices over the phone and help you understand the most suitable route before you take arrangements any further.

Payment options to suit you

With a Golden Charter funeral plan, you can pay for your plan in several ways. Spread the cost or make a one-off payment – simply choose the one that’s right for you. We will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.

The retail price of your funeral plan is representative of the equivalent cost of a funeral today plus an arrangement fee of £350, which is retained by Golden Charter to help cover the costs of setting up your plan.

Your payments are held within the Golden Charter Trust. With almost £1.21 billion under management(1), the Trust is operated by a Board of Trustees, completely independent of Golden Charter. Their role is to hold your payments and ensure that the funeral director services in your plan can be paid for at the time they are required – however far into the future that may be.
