Pre - Paid Funerals
Thinking about your own funeral is never an easy thing to do but planning ahead can bring real peace of mind and financial security. A William Purves pre - paid funeral plan is a practical, financially sensible and thoughtful step to take and offers you several benefits:
Peace Of Mind
By taking care of things now, your family will not have the difficulty of having to second guess your wishes at a particularly emotional time. Although making a will is important, it is often not read out until after the funeral. If this is where your wishes are recorded, it may be too late for your family to grant them.
Financial Guarantees
A William Purves pre - paid funeral plan can help to ease the financial burden for you and your loved ones. Paying for your funeral plan in advance enables you to fix the funeral director's costs at today's prices. In the six years to 2006, funeral costs rose by an average of 10% each year* so planning ahead really does make financial sense.
Once you have purchased your plan, all of the funeral director's costs are guaranteed to be paid. The plan also allows you to make a contribution to third party costs (known as disbursements). You can choose to pay for your funeral plan by a single payment or a series of payments - please contact us if you wish to discuss this further.
Flexibility
Our flexible plans enable you to arrange your funeral to be as simple or as comprehensive as you wish. You can also add to or amend the plan at any time should your wishes change.
Expert Help and Advice
William Purves Funeral Directors has provided a dedicated service to local communities in and around Edinburgh since 1888. So, you can rest assured that your personal funeral wishes will be granted. Of course, making the right choices matters and your funeral director can advise on all matters from choice of service, organising funeral notices and flowers down to third party costs (known as disbursements).
