Independent Funeral Directors
Serving Dorset for over 110 years

At Douch Family Funeral Directors we provide pre-paid funeral plans in Dorset which enable you to choose what type of funeral you’d like, instead of your family and friends having to guess. With a funeral pre-payment plan, you can reduce the financial burden for loved ones at time of your death. At Douch Family Funeral Directors we offer a choice of set funeral payment plans or we can create a bespoke pre-paid funeral plan to suit your individual priorities.

When it comes to the pre-paid funeral costs, you pay for our direct costs.  As long as we carry out your funeral and your requirements don’t change, you won’t pay a penny more for these services, regardless of when the funeral may be needed.  You can also make a contribution towards third party costs which are not guaranteed and there may be more to pay at the time of need. And, you can opt to do so through a lump-sum payment or through regular instalments over 1 – 5 years.

Terms and Conditions and eligibility criteria apply – please ask for details. Pre-paid funeral payments are held in whole of life assurance policies arranged by Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited, which is part of the Benefact Group.

Your pre-paid funeral will be provided by one of our local, independent funeral directors in Dorset. If you move away, you should be able to transfer your plan through a network of professional firms across the UK, however, there may be additional costs depending on local prices.  Please refer to the plan Terms and Conditions for details or speak to us for more information.

UK residents can take out a plan. There are no medical or health questions to answer, and once your plan is fully paid, there is flexibility to amend the plan if you change your mind later.

Most of us, as we get older, expect to provide money to meet our funeral expenses. We’re not morbid. It’s to do with independence and responsibility. We want to leave everything in order for our relatives and friends. We don’t often talk about it – because there’s no need to – but the fact is that funerals cost money, and we want to help provide for the cost.

THIRD PARTY COSTS (ALSO KNOWN AS DISBURSEMENTS)

Included within the price of funeral pre-payment plans is a contribution towards other third party expenses, such as crematorium or cemetery fees, doctor’s fees for a cremation certificate and minister’s or church fees – these fees are also known as “disbursements”.

These costs are outside of our control. If these costs, as detailed in your plan, are not covered by the plan value at the time of need, there will be a balance to pay.  Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for more information.
