The cost of a funeral depends on where it’s happening and what options you choose. For example, a cremation typically costs less than a burial, because of the added cost of buying a burial plot. However, the average cost of a funeral has been steadily increasing in recent years. There are many different factors that have caused the price of a funeral to increase over the past 10 years. How can I beat rising prices? A prepaid funeral plan lets you fix essential costs at today’s prices. By paying for the key costs of your funeral now, you could potentially save thousands of pounds.
