The 'cost of dying' is on the increase
When you've spent all your life taking care of your loved ones, the last thing you'd want is to leave them with financial worries.
It pays to plan ahead and think how your loved ones would afford to pay for your funeral. With Over 50s Fixed Life Insurance, you could provide a cash sum to your loved ones to help at a difficult time.
The average cost of a funeral in the UK in 2024 was £4,7061. If funeral costs keep going up at the same rate as they did between 2011 and 2024, the average funeral could cost £6,733 by 20342.
It's important to know that the Over 50s Fixed Life Insurance is not designed to meet the full costs of a funeral, and does not guarantee to do so.
