Funeral
I know this isn't a nice subject, but I was wondering if any one out there, have ever thought of prepaying their Funeral expenses, or do they know of anyone who has, because what cost �3000, to day , could be an awful lot more in ten or twenty years time, so by prepaying now , it would not cost you or your family a penny more, What do you think.
PS, I think it would be a hard thing to do, ??

If you have money to spare so would not miss it - then look in to ithe pre-payment plan. It is no good struggling to pay for a funeral you hopefully won't need for many years though.
Funerals can be very costly but bear in mind that payment is usually suspended until probate, so you have a few months to pay.
And with inflation the cost is not going to be any more expensive real terms in 30 years than it is now.
I have a low rate credit card for such emergencies so do not intend to worry about it at all.
Funeral directors have you 'over a barrel' when it comes to their charges. What your dependants should do is get at least two quotations. But they know that people don't wish to be seen as being mercenary at such a time.
The minimum they charge for a coffin is �300 yet most are made from simple chipboard and are factory made. They probably cost �50 at most.
Of course you could leave your body to medical science for trainee doctors, then there will be no cost at all and your remains will have been used to some purpose.
