A funeral plan from Richard Stebbings is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance.
A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. At Richard Stebbings, we provide a straightforward and personal way to plan ahead, giving you peace of mind for the future.
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 outline your wishes and cover the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As many families tell us, this can bring real peace of mind – both for you and your loved ones. Our plans also include an allowance towards third-party costs. These are essential services not provided directly by the funeral director, such as cremation or burial fees, and the fee for a minister or officiant to conduct the service. The value of this allowance may increase over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third-party costs exceed the allowance when the plan is purchased or if the costs rise more than the plan’s growth.
At Richard Stebbings Funeral Service Ltd, we’re proud to offer funeral plans that give you full control and flexibility. You can choose us as your preferred funeral director, and when the time comes, we’ll carry out your wishes locally with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism.
With a funeral plan from Richard Stebbings, you receive the reassurance of a long-established, family-run funeral director who will be there for your family when it matters most. Plans are available to all UK residents regardless of age or health.
