What happens when I have paid for my Funeral Plan?

Planning and paying for a funeral can be quite a daunting thought, but by purchasing a Capital Life Funeral Plan in advance, not only can you tailor your own farewell, you can take the financial and emotional weight off your loved ones’ shoulders.

Once you’ve purchased the Funeral Plan that suits you best, you’ll receive a welcome pack in the post, which contains your personalised Funeral Plan Certificate and details of your plan, and instructions for your loved ones on what to do when the time comes. Make sure you keep these in a safe place and let your family know where they are!

You will also receive a Funeral Wishes form that lets you plan every aspect of your funeral – from what clothes you’d like to wear to the hymns or music you’d like played at the service. This is your opportunity to plan your send-off and make sure that it reflects you; it is not part of your Funeral Plan but a way to record all those extra little touches. 

When the time comes, there is very little for your family to do – and they will have nothing more to pay towards the services included in your plan – so you can rest assured everything will be taken care of, both financially and emotionally. Capital Life ensures that your Funeral Plan is carried out, and the Funeral Director takes care of everything else by guiding your family through all the arrangements according to the particulars of your plan. 

Choosing a Funeral Plan is simple, and Capital Life has a number of plans to suit everyone and every budget. Our friendly customer service team is ready to answer any questions you might have about planning your own funeral. Call 0800 411 8683 or contact us.
