Straightforward and easy to understand payment options.
All our plans offer three easy payment options, and if you change your mind you can cancel the plan and get back 100% of the money you’ve put towards it within 30 days of taking it out. If you decide to cancel your plan after 30 days, you can still get your money back, less a cancellation fee.
Pay for your plan outright in one lump sum
This is the most straightforward choice. Once you’ve paid for your plan, you know all services included have been taken care of, and these funeral arrangements will no longer be something you need to save or budget for. You are covered from the day you make your payment.
Pay by Direct Debit and spread the payments over 12 months at no extra cost
If you prefer to spread the cost of your funeral over a period of 12 monthly payments, you can do so with no additional charge. This means you end up paying the same amount as if you had paid in a single lump sum, with the price of your funeral plan frozen from the date of your first payment.
Lower monthly payments over more than 12 months
If you prefer to spread the cost of your plan over a longer period in order to make more affordable monthly payments, you can do this over a period of over 1 year and up to 25 years for all Age Co Traditional and Natural Funeral Plans, and over 1 year and up to 10 years for all Age Co Low Cost Cremation Funeral Plans. However, unlike the 1 to 12 month instalment plans, these longer term plans do incur an administration fee.
When paying over more than 12 months, all instalments have to be made by the 85th birthday of the eldest person named on the plan for all Age Co Traditional and Natural Funeral Plans, and the 80th birthday for all Age Co Low Cost Cremation Funeral Plans.
If you choose one of the Age Co Traditional or Natural Funeral Plans, and pass away more than 12 months after your funeral plan start date, and all your instalments are up to date, Dignity will cover any outstanding balance thanks to their Instalment Promise.
What happens after you have taken out your plan?
You will receive your Age Co Funeral Planholders Pack within 14 days, which will include a copy of all your arrangements. It is really important to tell your loved ones that you have a funeral plan in place, so they know how simple it is to activate when the time comes, it can save a lot of worry at a very difficult time.
