Gateway Funeral Services: Plan ahead for peace of mind
Most of us, understandably, have a tendency to live from day to day, not looking too far ahead or anticipating what might be round the corner.
Which means the idea of sitting down to talk about our own funeral is perhaps the last thing we might think of.
However, while no-one will pretend it is an easy subject to approach, it could actually prove to be one of the best conversations any of us might have, says Yorkshire’s independent family firm Gateway Funeral Services.
Recent figures from Sun Life suggested almost one in five people had no idea of any of their loved one’ s funeral wishes, an additional source of stress at an already very difficult time.
So imagine the comfort and confidence to be gained from establishing these things now, to ensure the final farewell is just as they would have wished – and, furthermore, of making financial arrangements to eliminate another source of worry for loved ones when the time comes.
Gateway Funeral Services is always ready to talk in advance about funeral arrangements for you or a loved one, and to discuss which of its range of pre-paid plan might be the best way of meeting the cost.
Gateway’ s Lucy Hitchcock said: “One of the main reasons we find for people taking out a plan is that they can arrange the funeral they want, rather than leaving difficult decisions regarding their wishes with their family.
“Our pre-payment plans can be paid in either a lump sum or instalments, with prices starting at £1,465 for a local unattended cremation, or £3,37 4 for a traditional funeral.
“We can also create bespoke plans to suit your budget or preferences for the event.
“We will be happy to share in your discussions, to guide and give information, but it’ s your choice and we will do all we can to meet your wishes.”
