Re: i saved literally thousands with a pre paid funeral plan

Hello

Yes, I hear the Abbey bells. I open the windows Sunday mornings to listen to them, and later in the day.
Tuesday evening is bell ringers practise and in good weather I open windows and listen to that. 7.30 - 9.30 almost always.

And yes again, Wymondham is a nice place to live. It's a very old Market Town .. quaint.
When stroke got me I could have ended up in a far worse place.

Re: i saved literally thousands with a pre paid funeral plan

as far as I'm concerned when I pop me clogs I will become somebody else's problem ..no one bothers with me to much when I'm alive,so they can bother with me when I'm dead ..

Re: i saved literally thousands with a pre paid funeral plan

I have never seen the point in have a funeral plan? We want the cheapest possible send off no fuss, no wreaths, no flowers no wake. We can well afford to pay for it out of our loose change.

Re: i saved literally thousands with a pre paid funeral plan

I've saved thousands of dollars by not dying.


I'm nearly as old as this thread.

Re: i saved literally thousands with a pre paid funeral plan

Anyway, I've decided I'm not having a funeral - buying a flat-pack coffin, and straight up the cremie for me. No way am I lining those b...... undertakers' pockets

Re: i saved literally thousands with a pre paid funeral plan

I don't see any need to "have a funeral plan".

1) If you own your own home, then the value is probably climbing just as fast as the cost of a funeral.

2) Whoever inherits your house should be really happy to pay for what amounts to, probably 5% of the equity from the property. It would make sense to document your funeral wishes in your will.

3) If they don't pay for the funeral they probably will not be able to set aside the funeral cost versus what inheritance tax they'll be paying.

4) If you pay 10 years in advance, the funeral arrangements may have changed, beyond all recognition, by the time you buy it - wait and see!

I do believe it makes sense to pay for and reserve a plot now (if you plan to be buried) as the cemeteries are filling up fast.

I am relying on my family to dispose of my corpse in the cheapest way possible.

I know......they approached me to supply a lead lined coffin and to weld it shut then encase it in concrete
