Copper Funeral Plan
What is a copper funeral plan?
The Copper funeral Plan is a simple, basic plan that provides a direct cremation service only.
This plan includes the professional services of the funeral director, the doctor’s fees, the collection of the deceased from the place of death* and the transportation of the deceased to the crematoria and the cremation.
The copper funeral plan does not include any viewing of the deceased, any limousines and does not include any service for the attendance of mourners.
The cremated remains will be scattered at the crematoria or can be made available to the next of kin to collect. The cremated remains may also be delivered to the next of kin for an additional cost.
Our Copper Funeral Plan Includes:
- Advice on funeral registration, documentation and certification; death certificate, medical certificate of cause of death, birth certificate, marriage/ civil partnership certificate and certification for burial or cremation
- Funeral director’s professional support and guidance services
- Collection of the deceased from hospital or coroner in normal working hours*
- Post-mortem care of deceased prior to the funeral
- Date and time of the funeral is appointed and cannot be altered or amended; these are usually restricted to Tuesday – Thursday and are set before 10:30am or after 3:30pm
- Basic coffin with white frill and gown or supply of a basic cremation Urn
- Preparation of cremated remains; the deceased is bathed and cleaned (without embalming), dressed, and all jewellery, medical devices and prosthetics are removed
- Cremated remains are prepared for collection by the next of kin** or for scattering in the Garden of Remembrance to commemorate the deceased
- Guaranteed cremation and doctors fees; only applicable in the case of cremation
- Bereavement counselling/ additional support during grief (where available)
*Collection from a Hospital or from a Coroner’s mortuary is included in the plan but removals from a home or a nursing home will incur an additional cost.
**If the next of kin require the ashes dispatched back to a residential address in the UK, rather than collecting them. There will be an additional charge which will be estimated at the time of the request and this fee will be payable directly to the funeral director.
