Golden Charter Funeral Plans

Our Golden Charter Funeral Plans help to ensure there are arrangements in place for the future. Taking out a prepaid plan will put your mind at ease that all has been arranged in advance. Our experienced funeral directors in Newport, South Wales specialising in selling a range of affordable plans from Golden Charter.

Once you have a prepaid funeral plan, you can be sure that the burden of rising costs won’t be passed down to your family. We can help you select the right arrangements to suit your budget and needs, whether you’re looking for a low-cost service or prefer to opt for a more exclusive option, we can help you pick the perfect one for you.

We often get asked what a funeral plan is. Our plans are a way of ensuring that when you or a loved one passes away, their funeral service will be paid for and entirely arranged already. 

Choose The Perfect Prepaid Funeral Plan

Our caring team in Newport can help you choose the best option to choose, from the Simple Way, the Traditional Way and the Exclusive Way. Whichever prepayment plan you choose they all guarantee to cover the director’s own services including the burial or cremation, regardless of how much these costs rise in the future.

Tailored Funeral Plans to Suit Your Needs

We understand that everyone’s needs are different so we can tailor each of our plans to suit you. Just let us know about any personal preferences when you get in touch.

Simple Way

Our lowest priced option, covering essential funeral director’s services plus an allowance towards third party costs.

Traditional Way

If you want a funeral that goes a little bit further, this plan also includes a limousine and a high quality coffin*.

Exclusive Way

Our most comprehensive option, this plan includes two limousines as well as a superior coffin, often chosen for burials.*

What Funeral Costs Do I Need To Cover?

As well as the director’s services, which are guaranteed to be covered as per your plan, there are other costs you need to consider:

Third Party Funeral Costs

These are essential costs such as local authority burial or cremation fees and officiant or minister fees. They are outside the control of your director but will be paid by them, to the third parties, at the time.

All three plans include a £940 allowance towards third party costs. Only if these costs were to increase by more than the growth of your plan might there be more to pay at the time of the service.

As an additional benefit, when you pay for your plan by a single payment or over 12 months, for an additional £100, you can choose to guarantee that third party costs will be covered if you die within 5 years from when your plan is fully paid. Please refer to the Key Features document for more information.

Optional Services

Such as flowers, newspaper notices, reception, catering and orders of service. These costs are not covered but you can note your wishes with us. Our Newport directors can help organise these at the time.
