Golden Leaves offer five different set funeral plans for either cremation or burial.
Each plan offers a slightly different level of service, but all plans include the following services:
- Funeral director’s professional services
- Advice on funeral registration, documentation and certification
- Collection of the deceased within 25 miles in normal working hours
- Care of the deceased prior to funeral
- Use of chapel of rest and visitation for the family
- A coffin
- Funeral personnel such as pallbearers
- Provision of a hearse
- Thank you cards
- Bereavement counselling
Here is a comparison of the services and features of their Bronze, Zinc, Silver, Gold and Platinum plans:
Golden Leaves funeral plans are based around the provision of a cremation and not a burial.
In the case of a burial, Golden Leaves will pay a contribution towards burial fees (excluding the Bronze plan).
This amount will be in line with the national average cost of cremation fees, which are significantly less than the average cost of burial fees, meaning there will be a shortfall when the time comes.
You can arrange a burial funeral plan through Reassured that covers all third-party fees including the cost of burial fees (locked-in at today’s price)‡.
