Planning Ahead Alleviates Pressure when the Time Comes
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 our 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.
At Colin Sneddon Funeral Directors Ltd, we work in partnership with Golden Charter to provide you with a safe and reliable way to plan ahead. As one of the UK’s largest funeral plan providers*, Golden Charter has helped 900,000 people make funeral provisions** 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 who are over 18, regardless of age or state of health.

“After the sudden death of our son David, we contacted Colin regarding the funeral arrangements. From the moment we stepped into the office we were treated with compassion and helped through a very difficult time with Kelly. She spoke us through all the options and gave us any assistance that we needed. Nothing was any trouble for her and she kept us informed about all the arrangements. The funeral was at Beath Cemetery and the staff did a fantastic job, and also Neil the celebrate who did a lovely service. I would certainly recommend Colin, Kelly and all the staff for any funeral arrangements that have to be made.”
