Help with Funeral Costs

The following information should be treated as a general guidance. Under certain circumstances the person responsible for making the funeral arrangements may be eligible for a grant from the Department of Social Security. This will generally apply should there be insufficient funds available to cover the cost of a private funeral, and either you or your partner are in receipt of one of the major D.S.S benefits.

Providing for the Future

Golden Charter Funerals Some people wish to make their own funeral arrangements in advance, easing the burden on those they leave behind. For this reason we maintain confidential files with all the relevant particulars for future reference. We are also able to offer an alternative to the above by providing a pre-paid funeral plan, payable in a single sum, or in monthly installments. This effectively guarantees that the funeral arrangements made will be carried out in the future as specified by you and at today's prices. Making such arrangements may relieve both financial and emotional burdens.

Donations & Gift Aid

Gift Aid ItFamilies may request family flowers only, but donations to a chosen charity, flowers or donations, or even no flowers but donations, the cheques are to be made out to the individual charities unless stated otherwise. Details on this can usually be found in the announcement in a paper if the families have deceided to have one (see obituaries). The donations are then collected together and forwarded to the chosen charity(s).
On occasion there is a collection box at the Funeral Service which is placed for as you come out of the service donations can be put in.
