As we head into a new year, it’s a time to look towards the future and all the exciting things yet to come.
However, there’s an inevitable truth we often avoid thinking about – that one day, we will all need a funeral.
To make things easier on those we leave behind, many people put a funeral plan in place to ease the stress and worry for loved ones and ensure they don’t have to pay for their funeral.
A funeral plan is a brilliant way to make sure that you get the funeral you want, as well as saving your family the unnecessary stress of organising it at an already difficult time and wondering what you would have liked.
Better yet, in addition to making your wishes known, you can pay for your funeral in advance, at today’s prices, meaning your family won’t have to worry about footing the bill, especially as costs continue to rise due to inflation.
And there’s one trusted national provider helping to make the whole funeral planning process easier and more affordable for Brits who are looking to prepare.
With over 25,000 five-star reviews across Trustpilot and Reviews.io*, Pure Cremation is Britain’s favourite choice when it comes to funeral plans**.
Aiming to make the process simple and straightforward, Pure’s direct cremation service – without a traditional ceremony – allows families to celebrate their loved ones in a personal, flexible and affordable way.
How does a Pure Cremation funeral plan work?
A funeral plan with Pure Cremation aims to protect you and your family from rising funeral costs, as well as give you the opportunity to have a say as to how you’d like your life to be celebrated.
With a plan in place and your wishes shared, Pure’s caring and attentive team will provide a dignified and respectful cremation at its dedicated crematorium.
After the funeral, the ashes will be returned to your family by hand, in an urn, or if preferred, they can be scattered in Pure’s very own Garden of Remembrance.
Plus, thanks to the flexibility of Pure’s direct cremation funeral plan, loved ones can arrange any memorial service or send-off they wish – and whenever they want – as there’s no ceremony at the crematorium itself, potentially saving you over £2,000 on average, compared to a traditional plan***.
What are the advantages of a Pure funeral plan?
There are a host of benefits when choosing a funeral plan with Pure Cremation.
The provider’s thousands of positive Trustpilot reviews* are well earned, thanks to a caring, professional and dedicated team that will guide you and your loved ones all the way through the planning process, as well as deliver the desired funeral when the time arrives.
Within its plan, Pure includes a solid wood, eco-friendly coffin, alongside unique ceramic discs to guarantee the ashes’ identity.
What’s more, the ‘Pure Price Promise’ means everything you need is included. It also guarantees no hidden costs, making your funeral planning even more transparent and ensuring your family won’t have to fork out anything extra, even if funeral costs increase in the future.
Crucially, Pure also ensures that the money from your funeral plan will be kept safe and secure in an independent trust, and insured with the world’s largest reinsurer*^, providing unbeatable peace of mind.
How much does a funeral plan cost?
The cost of funeral plans in the UK tends to vary based on plan type, service levels, and location.

Better still, payment is flexible. You can choose to pay in one lump sum or monthly instalments to suit your budget and needs – and once arranged, you won’t need to pay anything else.
