Our Premier Plan in detail
The following features are not included within the cost of your plan, but you can express your wishes when you purchase and add on as appropriate.
* Prices are correct at 3rd April 2023, and subject to change.
1. The pay monthly prices are based on a 50 year old paying by the instalment payment option with a £49 deposit over 15 years. An instalment charge is included based on the term you select and is included in the overall cost of your funeral plan.
2. Coffins supplied will be wood-effect quality or better (excludes the Basic plan). Your funeral director will provide further guidance on the types of coffin available within your plan.
3. Costs may apply if out-of-hours viewing is required.
4. Any third party allowance included in your funeral plan can be used toward these fees. Please see “Allowance toward third party costs” section for further information.
Additional information
Burial plots and monumental work
Golden Charter plans don’t include the purchase of a burial plot. Should you choose burial instead of cremation, the plans include an allowance towards the opening of a new or existing grave. The purchase of a grave and any monumental work would need to be arranged separately.
Allowances towards third-party costs
Each plan can include an allowance towards third party costs. These are costs for essential, non-funeral director services required to carry out a cremation or burial. Funeral directors cannot control these costs and these fees need to be paid at the time of the funeral. These costs are paid by us to other suppliers or professionals to carry out funeral services. This allowance can be used towards cremation fees, burial or interment fees as well as the minister or officiant’s fee to conduct the service. The built-in allowance will not be used towards certain third party costs such as doctor’s fees (if applicable) or the purchase of the burial plot.
The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.
Arrangement Fee
The retail price of your funeral plan is representative of the equivalent cost of a funeral today plus an arrangement fee of £285 which is retained by Golden Charter to help cover the costs of setting up your plan.
