Funeral Plan
Aged 50-80?
Funeral Plan enables you to put essential cremation funeral services in place that could suit your needs - and your pocket. You're guaranteed to be accepted, with no medical or health questions asked.
Overview
No one wants to leave their loved ones alone with funeral arrangements and costs at what is already a difficult time. That's why AXA Sun Life Services plc, trading as Sun Life Direct has joined forces with The Co-operative Funeralcare to offer you Funeral Plan. Have a look below to see what is included.
You simply pay a fixed monthly premium into a life insurance policy from AXA Sun Life plc. Then on your death as long as you've had the plan for at least two years the cash sum will be paid to the Co-operative Funeralcare and the funeral services will be provided. Monthly premiums will never go up so you won't have to worry about future price rises. You need to be sure you can pay your premiums for life as if you stopped the funeral services wouldn't be provided and you won't get anything back.
As long as you're aged 50 to 80 you're guaranteed to be accepted onto the Plan without answering any medical questions.
