Age Concern do a plan which you pay into and that is all you pay. It is a very basic funeral. But you can pay more if you want a bigger sendoff. |

How upsetting for you and how disgusting of the funeral directors, I hope it was not one of the well known ones like co-op etc. But I am pleased that you got it sorted. |

Spanish people pay a small amount into a funeral plan all their lives. |

All I'm saying AnninGlos is a lot of small funeral parlors are bought out by big concerns ??? But who ever was trying it on (funeral Directors or the Plan Company) didn't get anymore money off us |

Were they trying to swindle you? Should it be reported to the police? |

I'd file a complaint against the funeral directors. Sounds like a scam, especially as they weren't willing to itemize the charges. |

Mam or Dad never had a funeral plan, but he knew his assets would cover any costs. I was the executrix of dad's will and paid FD myself before his estate was sorted. Could have waited I suppose as you never see a poor FD. |
