Pre-Payment

"The Independent Way"
in association with Golden Charter Funeral Plans

Choosing to arrange and pay for your own funeral in advance may be something you have never considered. Increasingly however, many people are taking this step and are using it in a positive way, to help their families at what will no doubt be a difficult time in the future.

No-one likes to think of their family having to make emotional and financial decisions at a time when they are most distressed. When choosing our Independent Way funeral plan you leave instructions on all aspects of your eventual funeral, relieving your family of any uncertainty about what your wishes may be.

An Independent Way funeral plan can help in other ways too. For example, if you have no immediate family or your relatives live in a different part of the country, you can be sure that your wishes are known and that they will be carried out to the letter. For some, just knowing that proper provisions have been made regarding the financial aspect of the funeral gives peace of mind.

We believe that the Independent Way funeral plan, which is only available through independent funeral directors such as ourselves, offers you significant advantages over other plans.

• Once your plan is fully in place, no matter how much our services may rise in cost in years to come, neither you nor your loved ones will be asked for a penny more. (Disbursements excluded as these are out of our control)
• You are able to specify every detail in advance, personalising your funeral under the professional guidance of Barrells Funeral Directors.
• It allows you to purchase a plan without any restrictions as to your age or state of health.
• The Independent Way plan is offered in association with Golden Charter the UK’S largest independent funeral plan provider. Golden Charter have been accepted as a Registered Provider by the Funeral Planning Authority, created in response to Government legislation to protect money paid by consumers for pre-paid funeral plans.

We appreciate that the decision to buy a pre-paid funeral plan is not something to be arrived at lightly. If you would like to discuss it in more detail, we will gladly meet you at our premises or in your own home at your convenience. Alternatively you may prefer to talk about it over the telephone, it doesn’t matter how often you call us, we will be pleased to help. Our sole aim is to help you arrive at a decision that will give you peace of mind.
