Perfect Choice For You and Your loved Ones

Thinking Ahead

There are many different reasons why people choose to pre-arrange and pre-pay for funerals. Sometimes it is because they are concerned about leaving the bereaved with the worry of arranging a funeral at a time of deep distress. More often it is because they are anxious not to leave the cost of their funeral as a burden to others. Then there is the consideration of the deceased wishes - can you be certain that your nearest and dearest really know how you want your funeral to be conducted? By pre-arranging things you can take any uncertainty out of the whole process.

Of course, another sensible reason for opting to pre-pay for a funeral is the fact that you can pay for exactly what you want at today's prices, knowing that, however far in the future the funeral actually takes place, your plan is inflation proof.

Naturally, once you've made the decision to purchase a pre-payment funeral plan, we think you'll find Perfect Choice to be a thoroughly dependable provider.

The Perfect Choice for Peace of Mind

Established by the national Association of Funeral Directors in 1992, perfect Assurance Funeral Trust was set up as, and continues to be, a non profit making Trust Fund for the benefits of clients who wish to make arrangements and financial provision prior to the event of their own, or their loved ones, death.

Perfect Assurance Funeral Trust is a founder member of the Funeral Planning Authority for pre-paid Funeral Plans (FPA), the organisation that was created to counter those pre-paid funeral plans that were being managed without financial probity. We have independent Custodian Trustees, Auditors and Fund Managers so you can see we treat your money very seriously. We offer absolute security for your investment; having sufficient reserves in the Fund to cover the cost of every single funeral plan contract we have entered into, even in the unlikely event that all of those funerals took place on the same date.

We can give you the assurance that any funeral arrangements you have requested in your Perfect Assurance Funeral Trust agreement will be carried out to the letter when the time comes. Also, all our plans are protected by the provisions within a strict code of practice which has been put in place by the National Association of Funeral Directors for the benefit of their clients.

The Perfect Choice for Flexibility

One of the biggest benefits of choosing Perfect Assurance Funeral Trust is the absolute flexibility it offers.

There is a choice of three different types of plans: Your own completely Customised Plan; the Salisbury Plan and the Warwick Plan.

The Customised Plan allows you absolute flexibility. You can plan whatever sort of funeral you wish, from the extremely lavish to the very frugal. The Salisbury Plan offers a traditional funeral, based upon our experience of the most frequently requested funeral arrangements. Should you opt for either of these plans, you can add to, or amend your plan at any time in the future should your personal circumstances change. The Warwick Plan has been devised to cater for clients who want to keep their funeral arrangements simple but dignified.

These choices are offered so that you can choose the funeral plan that best suites you. And, unlike many pre-payment funeral schemes, Perfect Assurance Funeral Trust does not have a rigidly structured price list. The cost of whichever type of plan you choose will be agreed between yourself and the Accredited Representative Funeral Director.

We also offer a partners, 'either/or', facility, where you can opt to cover the first or second funeral of the partners.

And finally, if you prefer to pay in 12 interest free monthly installments, you can.

How do Perfect Choice Plans Work?

Unlike some pre-paid funeral plans, Perfect Assurance Funeral Trust guarantee 100% of your pre-payment sum is invested in the fund, where it accrues compound interest to counter inflation. When the time comes for the funeral to take place, the Trust Fund simply pays Abbotts or your contracted Funeral Director, in full. Everything you have agreed for your funeral plan will be financially secured. No surprise bills for you or your loved ones - no payment worries for your funeral director.
