Paying for a funeral

A funeral can be paid for:

  • from a financial plan, insurance policy or pension scheme the person had.
  • by you, or other family members and friends
  • from the deceased's estate - find out about getting access to an estate on Gov.uk
  • by using financial help if you have difficulty paying

If you are using a funeral director choose one who is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors or Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors.
