Thinking of buying a funeral plan for someone else? Give them the gift of peace of mind with Variety Funerals™. This guide explains who can benefit, how it works, and important considerations to make the process smooth and respectful.

Why Buy a Funeral Plan for Someone Else?

There are many reasons why purchasing a funeral plan for someone else can be a thoughtful and practical gesture:

  • Save Money & Reduce Stress: Pre-paying for their funeral at today’s prices protects them from inflation. Funeral costs typically rise year after year, so locking in a fixed price now ensures they won’t burden loved ones with unexpected expenses later. This can be a significant benefit, especially as families are often already dealing with emotional strain during a time of loss.
  • Respect Their Wishes: By discussing and pre-planning their funeral preferences, you can ensure their final wishes are honoured. This includes details like the type of service (cremation or burial), desired music or readings, and any specific requests for the ceremony. Open communication allows you to make informed decisions that reflect their values and beliefs.
  • Ease the Burden on Loved Ones: Planning a funeral during a period of grief can be overwhelming. By taking care of these arrangements in advance, you spare your loved ones from making difficult decisions and financial burdens during an already challenging time. They can focus on grieving and celebrating the deceased’s life with peace of mind.

Who Can Benefit from a Funeral Plan Purchased by Someone Else?

  • Partners: Couples can pre-plan together, ensuring both have a secure funeral plan in place. Alternatively, one partner can purchase a plan for the other, offering a thoughtful gesture of love and support.
  • Parents: Purchasing a funeral plan for elderly parents can be a delicate subject, but it can also be a way to show you care and avoid causing any unnecessary stress. Open communication is key, and Variety Funerals™ can provide resources and guidance to navigate these conversations respectfully.
  • Those in Care: If a loved one is in care, their social workers or care home staff may inquire about end-of-life planning. Having a pre-paid funeral plan in place simplifies the process for everyone involved. Care providers can easily contact Variety Funerals™ to begin arrangements when the time comes, ensuring a seamless transition.

If you’re unsure whether cremation is the right choice for the person you’re considering a plan for, we can guide you through the options and answer any questions you may have.
  • Fixed Costs: Pre-paying for a funeral plan freezes the cost at today’s prices, for items included in the plan, protecting the plan holder from future inflation. This ensures their funeral will be covered regardless of rising costs.
  • Variety Solo & Plus Plans: We offer two pre-paid funeral plans, the Variety Solo Funeral Plan and the Variety Plus Funeral Plan, to cater to different needs and budgets. Variety Solo provides a dignified cremation with essential inclusions, while Variety Plus offers additional features including a simple service at the crematorium for mourners to attend.
