Keeping your money safe

How your money is safeguarded

All plan holder funds are safeguarded until needed. Here’s how:

Single & Monthly Instalments

Just like other big funeral plan providers in the UK, we use a Trust to safeguard the funds needed to meet funeral expenses

Whether you’ve paid in a single lump sum or over a fixed number of instalments, then your money will be placed into a secure, independently managed Trust

Continuous Payment

Your monthly payments are used to purchase a ‘whole of life’ policy from Scottish Friendly, one of the largest mutual life companies in the UK which has been around since 1862

The insurer can only make a payment under the plan to provide the planholder’s funeral or provide a customer refund. If the firm is in default then payments will be made to the customer, their next of kin or another party based on the findings of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme

All of our plan holders receive the same level of care from Pure Cremation Limited's lovely people

Plan holders’ money is kept safe until it is needed

Your payment goes into the dedicated Pure Cremation Funeral Planning Trust and is invested to ensure that the overall value of the sum held in Trust keeps up with rising funeral costs and we are able to deliver your funeral when the time comes.
The Trust is managed by independent trustees and reviewed every year by an independent expert to ensure there are always sufficient funds available for your cremation
The Trust abides by the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 Chapter 14

A Trust with 117.0% funding

At the last review on 31/12/22, the Trust had a very healthy surplus, with a funding level of 117.0% calculated on a best estimate basis, meaning that the Trust has more than enough funds  to cover the costs of all plan holders’ cremations as promised. The Trust surplus is monitored monthly by both the Trustees and the Board of Directors to ensure this strength is maintained.
