"Is it just me but seeing a big increase in advertising for funeral plans at the moment  "
I think there have always been over 50's funeral plans advertised on day time TV. Admittedly I don't watch much TV but for the brief few minutes it's on I regularly see some old coffin Dodger banging on about how easy it was to set up a policy.
I also see plenty of life insurance adds. Funnily enough it's always the man that had to take out theses policy's. |

"Well may be worth taking one out before we all catch Corona Virus!
Think that's what there trying to cash in on
And foolish folk will panic buy as always"

Advertising plays on people's insecurities and in the daytime is when older people must watch more I guess with funerals, insurance mobility and hearing aids on offer. X |

My dad has one and he paid significantly less for the funeral when he took it out than it would have cost many years later when he passed away
It actually made things so much easier when it came to the funeral as he had already chosen everything from the wood and handles on the coffin and lining colour ... to location of funeral and order of service, verses and hymns.
I’m not saying either way whether someone should have one but for us it made things so much easier, it took away all those types of decisions (my siblings and I wouldn’t never have reached an agreement anyway) and left us free to grieve.
I’m definitely going to sort mine out, I should probably do it sooner rather than later given my age - well past the half way line! |
