The proceeds from your 50 Plus plan will be paid directly to Dignity to help pay for your funeral. They'll appoint one of their local Funeral Directors to take care of the arrangements and any specific wishes you may have.
With over 560 Funeral Directors, Dignity are one of the UK's leading funeral planning organisations. And each year they conduct around 65,000 funerals.
10% added to your amount of cover (if the funeral is more than your amount of cover)
Or
10% discounted from the funeral cost (if the funeral cost is less than your amount of cover)
Example:
How we work this out depends on whether the cash lump sum you have is more or less than the cost of your funeral when you die.
Mr A has a cash lump sum that is less than the cost of his funeral when he dies:
| Mr A's funeral costs | £3,000 |
|---|
| The amount of cover he has from his plan is | £2,500 |
|---|
| His free funeral benefit gives him an extra 10% which is | £250 |
|---|
Mr A has a total of £2,750 paid to Dignity to help cover the cost of his funeral and the remaining £250 would need to be paid for by his estate
Or
Mrs B has a cash lump sum that is more than the cost of her funeral when she dies:
| Mrs B's funeral costs | £3,000 |
|---|
| The amount of cover she has from her plan is | £4,000 |
|---|
| Her free funeral benefit gives her a 10% discount of | £300 |
|---|
Mrs B has a total of £2,700 paid to Dignity to pay for her funeral and the remaining £1,300 paid out to her estate
You can change your mind free of charge at anytime, however if you were to do this you wouldn't receive the Funeral Benefit of up to 10% increase/discount. For more information please see - Funeral Benefit Option
