The trust deed has been created in such a way that its purpose is to offer greater protection to you the plan holder and your family or estate. Family Tree Funeral Company will have the responsibility for the provision of your funeral on behalf of you through Open Prepaid Funerals.

Why Choose a Prepaid Funeral Plan?
By choosing a local independent funeral director and Open Prepaid Funerals, you can receive a high-quality experience along with the expertise required, allowing you to be safe in the knowledge your funeral is taken care of when the time comes. Simply get in touch with us and we will arrange an appointment with an Open Adviser or you can contact Open directly on 0330 660 0072 to get the process started.
Choosing a prepaid funeral plan is a simple and practical way to let the people closest to you know that everything is taken care of. Some of the main benefits include:
- Reduces financial burden – the funeral plan will be paid up-front, or in monthly instalments, and this can reduce the financial responsibility for family when the time comes.
- Can alleviate emotional stress – planning and paying for your funeral beforehand helps to alleviate your stress, and also provides a caring solution to decrease emotional stress on those organising your funeral.
- The funeral director’s professional fee is fixed – although funeral plan prices may fluctuate due to inflation, the price of the funeral director’s professional services is fixed at the time the plan has been bought – meaning that that element of your plan will not change.
- Contribution to disbursements – your plan can include a contribution to third party costs such as: the crematorium cost, a minister or officiant to carry out the service, flowers or a death notice. Your contribution to disbursements is not guaranteed to be covered and your family or estate may have to make an additional contribution at the time of need. A list of potential disbursements is available in our terms and conditions.
- Individual personalisation – by choosing a prepaid funeral plan, you can decide on the theme of your own funeral yourself and ensure that everything is to your taste and personal preference ahead of time.
