We plan our careers. We plan our holidays. We try to prepare for many things throughout our life. But there's one important matter that most of us fail to get ready for.

It's something that's certain to come and cannot be avoided...

Death.

A recent report from SunLife has revealed that the average cost of dying is £9,658. This is up 5% since 2023.

The average cost of an average funeral sits at £4,141 ¹ .

This can create a problem for their family and loved ones.

Because when the time comes and planning is no longer an option, many may end up stressed with years of debt because of all the costs on their shoulders.

But all these insanely high costs could have been avoided.

How?

By opting for a direct cremation instead of a more traditional funeral.

Direct cremations have risen in popularity in the last few years because of their affordability. A direct cremation costs on average just £1,498 ² . 

That's over half the average price of a standard cremation...which costs £3,795.

What is a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is considered the simplest cremation. It's a cremation with no funeral service or ceremony, and the ashes are returned to the family.

So there's no expensive ceremonies or hearses. It's a great option if you'd prefer a simple, fuss-free cremation.

Considering the cost of living crisis in 2023, this option offers a cheaper alternative to a traditional funeral, and you can lock in the price today to avoid future inflation hikes for the items included in your plan.
