When you need us, we’ll be there.


No-one likes to think about death. Our own or the death of our loved ones. One way to make things more bearable is by having a plan. Think about the send-off you want, then talk to someone who can help. Someone like Golden Charter.


We’re the largest funeral plan provider in the UK. In fact, more people choose us for their funeral plan arrangements than the Co-op.*


But there’s something else we’re even prouder of. The people we work for.


Your local independent funeral director We’re proud to be owned by a network of over 700 independent funeral directors, and we represent over 3,000 independent funeral directors UK-wide. Each one ready to extend a comforting arm whenever it’s needed.


Once, nearly all such businesses were family-owned. Passionately serving their communities in any way they could. In recent years, however, there have been changes.


Big chains have gradually been buying out local funeral director’s businesses, usually when senior members retire. Often the name is kept, but not much else.


Many customers believe they’re placing their trust in a family-owned organisation. Not to mention supporting a local, independent business on their high street.


Sadly, in a lot of cases, this isn’t true.


The good news is by choosing Golden Charter for your funeral plan arrangements, you most certainly will be.


Going the extra mile


Everyone here, our staff and the independent funeral directors who own us and who we represent, believe we have a responsibility to go that bit further. Making sure it’s not only the departed who are cared for. But also those who’ve been left behind.


When the time comes, your funeral director will be there to support you and take you through what happens next.


Value, plus personal service when it matters most


Superior service and a caring hand are critical. But so is value. With a Golden Charter Funeral Plan, you specify your wishes and take care of the funeral director’s costs in advance, with plans starting from just £2,800.


By choosing Golden Charter, you’ll get peace of mind for your family and the personal service from your chosen funeral director when it matters most.


Here for you today and tomorrow


And remember, they aren’t just there for your current needs, either. They want to look after you and your loved ones in the future, too. After all, they’ve made a long-term commitment to their community.


It’s where they live. It’s where they work. But best of all, it’s where you’ll find them when you need them most.
