Funeral Planning

Special Wishes

We know that bereaved families often worry because they are unsure if the plans they are making reflect the wishes of the person who has died.

We offer a free service which allows you, if you wish to record your wishes for when that time comes. Details recorded can include the kind of service you want (or don’t want), the venue, music, readings etc. This can be done without any financial commitment.

Details are held on our files and are made available to you so you can share them with your family, professional advisers or minister or priest. You can plan in as much or little detail as you wish.

To make an appointment to discuss your choices please call 01896 757779.

Pre-paid Funeral Plans

A funeral plan is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance. A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service. The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.

At A & A Doyle Limited, we work in partnership with Golden Charter to provide you with a simple way to plan ahead. As one of the UK’s largest funeral plan providers1, Golden Charter has helped over 900,000 people to plan ahead2, so we’re completely confident in offering their plans to you.

Everyone has different needs when it comes to funeral planning, so we make sure the plans we offer are as flexible as possible. When you get in touch, we’ll be happy to discuss your funeral requirements and tailor a plan to suit you. Rest assured a plan from Golden Charter is available to all UK residents, regardless of age or state of health.
