At Inheritance Legal Services Ltd, we take great pride in ensuring our customers are given our full support and very best advice. That is, why when making decisions about working with a third party company, we take extra care and investigate the company in all aspects of their business.

For many years we have been looking into offering funeral plans as part of our services. This year, we found a company who fits our extremely high standards whilst offering the best value for money.  This company is called ‘Safe Hands’.

Safe Hands are the only funeral plan company in the UK to be officially endorsed by the National Federation of Funeral Directors (NFFD) – the only company within industry committed to increasing funeral cost transparency and consumer choice. We act on behalf of Safe Hands to take the instructions for your funeral arrangements meaning you can arrange all of your estate planning matters through us.

So what exactly is a funeral plan?

Well, the simplest answer is that it is an opportunity to pay for your funeral in advance and know it is all sorted and will not cause problems or stress to your family once you have passed away.  Many of the funeral plans have set prices according to what you ‘pick n mix’ to have as part of your plan, however, our Safe Hands plans are set out in easy to understand packages (e.g what type of coffin you have, how many cars you get with the package), with set prices to choose from. This is another reason we chose to partner with safe hands.

With funeral costs rising far in excess of the annual rate of inflation, it is an unfortunate fact that for many families, budgeting for a funeral in the traditional way may no longer be sufficient to cover the cost.

Safe Hands GUARANTEES that, however long you live and however expensive a funeral is when you pass away, there will always be sufficient funds to cover all the funeral directors fees and services.

In common with all funeral plan providers, the money you pay for your Safe Hands funeral plan is held in a secure trust fund, set up in conjunction with an award-winning firm of specialist solicitors, and overseen by an independent panel of qualified Trustees.

Safe Hands funeral plans have been confirmed as one of the LEAST expensive plans on today’s market and you also have the option to pay off your plan in monthly instalments.
