When you take out a funeral plan, you need to name a Nominated Representative, who will also be sent details of the plan. This person can be anyone you trust to be our point of contact when you die – very often it’s your next of kin but it doesn’t have to be. When the time comes to redeem the plan, they’ll get in touch with us to help arrange the next steps and work closely with one of our arrangers to make sure all their questions are answered.
The money paid to Memoria Direct Cremation for your funeral plan will be used to purchase a whole life insurance policy with our chosen life insurance provider. Memoria Direct Cremation will be the beneficiary of this policy upon your death and will use the funds to fulfil your funeral plan.
