Talking about death and funerals isn’t easy. And yet there are several very good reasons why having a funeral plan in place makes perfect sense – from an emotional, practical and financial point of view. From a traditional funeral, to something simpler, with a plan in place you can make sure you get the send-off you really want.
A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third-party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service.
The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third-party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.

Having to deal with a death in the family for the first time is a daunting task.
Firstly, finding a funeral director who offers a good service. I spent some time on the internet looking at website after website without any idea of what was required or what sort of service I would receive and so I searched Yell. Here I found W O'Mara & Sons and based on their positive reviews, I decided to place my trust in them.
Now that we have come through the other end, I can confidently say that I made a good decision.
William was a sympathetic guide who took time to explain what needed to be in place and what would happen at each and every stage.
At no time was I left wondering what had to be done. William was always on hand with advice and recommendations. He helped take a lot of the burden from us by handling a lot of the official paperwork and organisation.
On the day, it couldn't have went more smoothly and for that I am grateful. Whilst I would like to think I'll never have to do this again, I know that when the time comes I will be returning to W. O'Mara & Sons.
