A Welch & Sons Funeral Services

Pre-paid funerals

Planning ahead for your funeral is one of the most thoughtful and caring things you can do. Some people never get round to discussing funeral wishes with their loved ones, which can lead to all sorts of worry and anxiety when the time comes.

Pre-paid funeral plans

Taking out a funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way to remove this worry, and it can provide real financial benefits too. Some of the other benefits include:
  • Pre-arrange the details of your funeral and record any special wishes, such as hymns, music choices and any other personal touches you would like your plan to include
  • Make financial provision for your funeral
  • Choose your funeral director in advance
  • Ensure your family has access to expert help at what can be a difficult time.

We are currently in the process of changing Pre-paid funeral plan provider to Westerleigh Funeral Plans and are temporarily unable to set up new funeral plans. For more information, please call us on 01227 374995 or email us at info@awelchandsons.co.uk.
