Funeral Plans

About our Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

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.

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 choice 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.

Our funeral plan is available to UK residents and there are no complicated medical forms to complete. You can also appoint a nominated representative who we will keep informed about your plan, according to your instructions

Our plans cover our costs (as specified in the plan paperwork) as long as we carry out the funeral and your requirements don’t change. You can also make a contribution towards third party costs, such as the cremation fees. These costs are outside of our control.

Independent Funeral Directors

Part of the community

The independent funeral profession has a long and proud history of personal service to local communities and carrying on the family tradition is a way of life for many independent funeral directors. They are deeply committed to upholding professional standards.

What's in a name?

In all forms of business there are big, international companies that have made their profits by taking over small firms. The funeral profession is no exception and any businesses have been swallowed up by the giants. That makes it hard for you to distinguish between the family-owned firm and the conglomerate. Without asking, you might never know if the owners your family has trusted over the years continue to make the decisions which will affect the service you receive when you need to make funeral arrangements. At Elwood & Capper, our roots dates back decades when James Elwood, Brian’s grandfather, conducted his first ever funeral during the winter of 1928 using a horse drawn vegetable cart that he borrowed from his cousin in Colin Mountain to take the coffin to Derriaghy Churchyard. Moving on a number of decades and Elwood and Capper was established in 2005 following a meeting of professional and ethical minds Brian Elwood and David Capper.

So why is an Independent Funeral Director a good option:

Devotion
“The focus is on meeting the needs of our friends and neighbours. We are not distracted or bound by corporate rules handed down from head office. We are flexible, and responsive to your needs”.
Personal pride
“Local independent funeral directors are part of a neighbourhood” states David Capper. “We live here and work here, we are not just a business in the area, we are part of a community”
Long-term commitment is at the heart of our ethos, just like the generations before us who served local people, we seek to build a relationship built on trust, so that you will return to us in the future.

Whenever possible, we support local charities and community organizations and make every effort to be involved in our community and to create the kind of personal relationship because we understand the needs of the community, we can best provide special services to local families.
