We only keep a record of your plan. MyFamilyInherits doesn’t sell, recommend or arrange funeral plans, and isn’t authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to do so. In the UK, pre-paid funeral plans are regulated by the FCA — if you’re thinking of buying one, go to the provider directly and check they’re authorised on the FCA Register. Funeral plan providers must be authorised by the FCA.
This page is information only. There is no payment here, we don’t pass your details to a provider, and we don’t give quotes or refer you to anyone.

A rough figure is plenty. It helps your family and your executors know what you had in mind.
🧾
A quiet, helpful note. Reasonable funeral costs are taken off the value of the estate before inheritance tax is worked out. Recording the expected cost here means your executors can claim it later — so the money your family inherits isn't taxed on what was spent saying goodbye.
