Anyhoo, been wondering about sparing my executor some pain by taking out an insurance plan for my disposal. Have asked for an brochure angel1
You get to choose your own coffin :thumbsup:
Anyone had any experience of these (pre-death preferably)?

Experience with coffins or Michael Parkinson funeral saving schemes?
I have let it be known that wailing and gnashing of teeth is to be discouraged and much drink is to flow.
There is no expectation of any other participation on my part.

Trouble is, payment will be delayed by probate. A plan would pay up front. Just being considerate, like angel1

Well the funeral is taken care of (JLV) and my executor has orders about ashes scattering :thumbsup:

How about some negotiable bearer bonds in Selection Turnips (Barbados) Inc?
Just buy them and deposit with the Co-op funeral directors in Scunthorpe. simples. :thumbsup:
Better start working on my beard as well if the JLV is on the case.

Unless you are dying to get the free pen of course lol:
You are best of making clear your wishes , type of casket, type of service, type of flowers ( if any) , preferred charity if no flowers etc , clothing you wish to wear - jewellery you want to burn with you - if you do etc, tunes you want played , where you want your ashes scattered etc.
If you have a will then your executor can handle all of this on your behalf and this can be done quite speedily .

When he died earlier this year we found it quite useful.
One phone call to the insurers & they arranged for the fd to contact us.
He collected Dad from the hospital & brought him back to funeral home, arranged for the vicar, crematorium & collected the ashes afterwards; they also accepted donations & forwarded to monies to the specified charity & sent mum a list of the donors os she could thank them.
The cost included their fees, the coffin, the vicars fee, the crem fee, & one limo. Did not include order of service or flowers (although they can arrange for these).
