www.ahmsolicitors.co.uk you require, which can be tailored to suit your exact needs. There are generally three levels of

fees, including collection, care and preparation of the deceased, a hearse and a contribution
toward 3rd party fees like crematorium fees, doctors' fees, but more specifically;

Payment options for all of the plan types includes making a one-off payment in advance, or
We are pleased to support the work of paying interest free instalments over up to 24 months or paying longer term over up to 360
The Safeguard Initiative months.
Paying in instalments can cost more if a longer than 24 months payment plan is chosen, this
is because administration fees or interest charges are added over longer terms, but for many
operating on a tight budget, this does mean that setting up a prepaid funeral plan becomes
affordable. Plan prices range from anywhere between £1695 to £4,540, depending on how much
provision you would like to make within your plan.
Prepaying for your funeral can be beneficial for those who someday may need to qualify for
government support, such as for long-term nursing home care. The reason for this is that the
expenditure for prepaid funeral expenses, doesn’t usually count against the person’s estate, when
the government determines financial eligibility for care and support funding.
