Low Cost Plans Your
Family Can Trust

A cost effective and eco-friendly way of saying goodbye. The deceased is collected and taken to a mortuary where they are cared for until the cremation. The ashes can be scattered at a garden of remembrance or we can have them delivered to you so you can say goodbye in your own way and in your own time. A Direct Cremation can save you money based on the average price of a traditional funeral. These savings can be used to celebrate the deceased life, give them a send off at a wake,woodland burial, or make a charity donation. The choice is yours.

Our funeral plans carry the ‘Crystal Clear Price Promise’. The price we agree with you is the price you pay, there are no hidden costs, offering you and your family peace of mind. The only time there may be additional charges will be for the provision of a larger coffin, removal of a pacemaker or other medical interventions. You will be advised of these charges when you purchase your plan.

Some of the UK’s leading funeral providers use Trusts to secure customers funds to cover the cost of their chosen funeral plan. Crystal Funeral Plans consider the security of our customers funds a priority. Your money will be placed into the secure and independently managed Crystal Funeral Planning Trust. Every year we undergo a full independent audit by JW Hinks auditors https://www.jwhinks.co.uk/ and our actuary David Downie at WBR Actuarial Ltd, https://wbrgroup.co.uk/ produces a solvency assessment report for our customers viewing and reassurance. The FCA state that we are required to maintain a trust solvency level of 110%. This is monitored and supervised by the FCA. We maintain this solvency level by investing your money in order that it keeps in line with inflation. We have an experienced team of financial managers at LGT Vestra https://www.lgtwm.com/uk-en who ensure our investments maintain growth whilst minimising risk and protecting our clients funds.

The Crystal Trust ( as per latest SAR) is 124%. So rest assured your money is and always will be safe with Crystal Funeral Planning.

When your funeral plan is needed the Trust simply requires an invoice, proof of death and authorisation from two trustees in order that funds are released.

We will provide you or your nominated representative with the information needed so they will know exactly what to do when the time comes.

With our Direct Cremation plan there are no additional services offered. This is due to the unique nature of this particular service. However, if you would like additional services then take a look at our Crystal Celebration of Life Plan or our Traditional Funeral Plan.

Also our plan comparison table above shows the differences between the plans.

Please note that some additional services can only be added at the time of need, such as collection of the deceased from a place other than a hospital, hospice or mortuary.

There is no service with the Direct Cremation Plan. We created this plan to cater for the significant number of customers who requested a ‘no fuss’ option. Please take a look at the plan for further details. However, we have found that some customers would like the opportunity to attend a service which is why we created our Crystal Celebration of Life Plan and our Traditional Plan

After all..... “It's your funeral, your way”.

Not with the Direct Cremation Plan. We have gone to great lengths to carefully select reputable crematoriums around the country. We select the crematorium that best suits the location of the deceased, combined with how you would like the ashes delivered.

However, with our Celebration of Life Plan and Traditional Plan you have the choice of crematoria.
