Funeral plans - how much peace of mind?
Article Abstract:
An investigation of funeral plan providers revealed that purchasers may not be covering as much of the cost of their funeral as they believe to be the case. Many of the elderly volunteers who approached funeral plan providers found that, although written advice was comprehensive, information given verbally was either misleading or had omissions. The chief omission was the failure to explain what was excluded from the plan provisions. The UK has no special regulations governing safety of funds paid into funeral plans, but the funds will be safe if the provider users a trust fund.
