A funeral is a major expense and is always difficult to organise as one has no control over timing. Therefore, more and more people are deciding to make arrangements in advance for their own funeral service. This decision relieves the burden of organising a funeral from the rest of your family and ensures that your wishes are carried out to the letter.

Melville & Co. offers the Personal Choice Funeral Plan, which can be tailor made to suit your wishes. Each plan holder is provided with a guarantee that Melville & Co. will provide our services without further charge. The cost of the plan will depend upon the type of coffin selected and whether you opt for cremation or burial. Disbursement costs will vary depending on the cemetery, flowers selected, and whether or not you choose to include orders of service.

Your plan arrangements will remain strictly confidential throughout your lifetime. We recommend however, that you send a copy of the plan to your solicitors to be held along with your will so that your wishes are immediately acted upon. If you have not made a will, then we recommend that the copy of the plan be passed to a close relative who can contact us at the time.

A Personal Choice Funeral Plan has no age limits and no health questions. It is not an insurance policy whose cost will vary depending on your answers. It is a guarantee that we will provide you with a funeral to your specifications at today’s cost. Payment for this policy can be made in one lump sum or made in interest-free instalments over a twelve-month period. If you wish to find out more about such a funeral plan for yourself or a member of your family, please contact us on one of the telephone numbers below and we will send you a brochure.
