Pre-paid Funeral Plans

Thinking about your own funeral is never an easy thing to do.
However, it can be comforting and reassuring to know that you’ve taken care of these arrangements, which is sure to provide financial and practical help to your loved ones at an already distressing time. Information  packs can be obtained from our office where we will be happy to discuss the details of the set plans on offer or a bespoke plan with additional services and special touches.

Here at B. Gibbs Funeral Services Ltd. we are proud to recommend our Funeral Plans provided by Ecclesiastical Planning Services, who are registered with the FPA (Funeral Planning Authority) Alternatively if you have already chosen a different funeral plan company we would be happy to discuss and advise you on the options that are available to enhance your chosen funeral plan.

With an Ecclesiastical Funeral Plan there’s no upper age limit and no medical or health questions to answer. Once you’ve taken out a plan,
all of the funeral directors’ costs will be covered.
The plan also includes a contribution towards third party costs
​(known as disbursements), such as crematorium, clergy/celebrant and doctor’s fees.

Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulation of pre-paid funeral plans
​an update as of 21st February 2022


Perfect Choice Funeral Plans - B Gibbs Funeral Services Ltd - Chard
​There is increasing media interest in the funeral planning industry as it moves towards FCA regulation. Our funeral plan provider, Ecclesiastical Planning Services, has applied for authorisation by the FCA and remains positive that it will be authorised from 29th July 2022 when the new regulation becomes effective.
Ecclesiastical is also supporting a number of other funeral plan providers that do not intend to become authorised by the FCA and wish to make suitable arrangements for their existing funeral plans.
We can confirm that Ecclesiastical’s pre-payment funds remain safe and secure, and we urge customers not to be concerned at this early stage. We will provide a further update in due course.
"I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and all the family for the calm and friendly funeral arrangements. We could not have wished for a more peaceful and personal occasion for our 'goodbyes'."
