You will have peace of mind knowing that once your funeral details have been documented in a contract, the uncertainty concerning your final wishes will be lifted from the shoulders of your family and friends making the time of your passing easier for them.

With a prepaid funeral plan, you can provide clear answers for all of these questions and protect your family against inheriting the costs associated with a funeral.A prepaid funeral plan provides the security of a contract between you and your funeral director that specifies the details of your funeral service, at a fixed cost. By locking in at today’s prices, you know how much you need to pay now without further costs in the future. For more information you can call us directly or visit Forester Financial Here
Payment options
Can I pay the funeral cost over a period of time?
Yes. Planning and paying for your funeral in advance means you can avoid leaving your family with unnecessary financial and emotional stress. We can offer a flexible payment process where families may take up to (36 ) thirty six months to pay off their pre paid service. Talk to our friendly staff who will help you with our payment terms and information regarding time payments.
Funeral plans are sound financial planning tools that protect your family by fixing the price of your funeral, allowing flexible payment terms, maximising your pension entitlements and setting a cap on the cost of your funeral.
Your money for the funeral plan is protected and secure.
Essentially we form an agreement with you to invest your money wisely to cover funeral costs in the future with the funds gathering interest to cover inflation. The rules of a funeral plan are they can only be claimed by using a person’s death certificate which verifies their death, and only then are the funds, in trust and with interest gathered, actually paid to Newhaven Funerals NQ, to perform the funeral.
Essentially, we are holding monies on your behalf in with Foresters Financial. These funds are still owned by the family, not the funeral plan, so they are protected from such things as bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership, because they are considered an asset, held on trust, not of the company.
