What is a Pure Cremation?

When someone dies, we take them into our care, perform a respectful committal and return the ashes to their loved ones, personally and by hand. There’s no funeral service, so families can arrange a more personal service if they wish – whenever and wherever they’d like.


With us, the funeral is 100% guaranteed, environmentally thoughtful and so much easier. What’s more, a Pure funeral plan protects you and your family from rising funeral costs.

  • Puts you in control, pure and simple
  • Ensures no-one else has to pay for your funeral
  • Gives you complete peace of mind

Purchase a Pure Cremation funeral plan before 31st March 2024 and the customer will be eligible for a £50 gift card after 6 months. Any funeral plan applications after this date will not be eligible for this promotion. See terms and conditions.

Important Information

If you pay in instalments, your plan is at risk if you do not keep up with monthly payments.

Paying in instalments means an instalment charge is added, so the total cost is higher than the single payment price.

There is no cash-in value of the plan.

If someone were to die without a plan and their loved ones were to arrange a pure cremation with us, it would cost £1,645.

£900 is placed into an independent trust. See our commission disclosure.

Once arranged, you do not need to pay anything else – there are no hidden costs. With other providers, it is worth checking their small print, as they may have additional costs that mean you could pay more than their published prices depending on your circumstances.

Over 50s life insurance is a whole-of-life policy that pays a cash lump sum to beneficiaries upon your death. Over 50s plans can never guarantee to cover the cost of a funeral.


A funeral plan, however, is an agreement with a funeral plan provider to fund and organise funeral expenses according to your wishes. They offer greater control and peace of mind regarding funeral arrangements, ensuring your life is celebrated the way you want.
