ARRANGING YOUR FUNERAL IN ADVANCE

There are two options:

1 Pre-arrangement
We will check what your wishes are and keep the details on our files. We will send you a letter of confirmation to give to your relatives or executor. The funeral can be paid for at the time by your family or from the estate in the usual way

2 Pre-payment
You choose the style of service required and pay for it now, at today's price. We guarantee to provide our services when required at no extra cost. All payments are held in Funeral Planning Trust, with HSBC Trust Company (UK) Limited as custodian trustee

 

Please note that it is not sufficient to leave funeral instructions in your  will, as the will may not be read until after the service.

 

WHY CHOOSE THE HAWES FUNERAL PLAN?

Our guaranteed funeral plan has the following practical benefits:

  • We guarantee the selection of your choice at today's price, regardless of when the funeral may be needed.
  • You choose what kind of funeral you would like, instead of your family and friends having to guess. You can choose a set plan or we can tailor every detail exactly as you want it.
  • Total security - your funeral payments are placed in the Funeral Planning Trust, with HSBC Trust Company (UK) Limited as custodian trustee.
  • The service is provided by H. L. Hawes & Son Ltd. - local independent funeral directors with a well established reputation. If you move home you can transfer your plan, through a network of professional firms across the country.
  • Your relatives will be spared a financial burden, at what could be a difficult and distressing time for them.
  • Your plan can be purchased with a once-only payment or by instalments - whichever suits you best.
  • There is no age limit and there are no questions about your health.
  • You can purchase a plan by post or you can sit down and discuss the details with your funeral director -  whichever you choose.
  • Our money-back promise: if you change your mind, at any time, you can have a full refund - no fuss!
