Your plan is 100% guaranteed to pay for your simple, unattended cremation when the time comes. Here’s how:
If you choose our Trust Plan, the money paid is placed into the independent Pure Cremation Funeral Planning Trust. This Trust guarantees to pay for your cremation when you need it. The Trust is managed by independent trustees and reviewed every year by an independent expert to ensure there are always sufficient funds available for your cremation. When last reviewed at 31 December 2020 the PCFP Trust had a very healthy surplus, holding 132% of all the money that would be needed to pay for every single plan holder’s direct cremation at once.
If you choose our Over 50s Funeral Plan, your plan is guaranteed by Scottish Friendly Assurance who are one of the largest mutual life insurance providers in the UK, with over 150 years’ experience.
If you choose to pay for a plan by instalments your payment amount will never increase. Once you have made at least 24 payments, your cremation will be provided should you die, with no further costs even if you have not completed all payments into the plan, provided your payments are up to date.
Peace of mind – we take care of the simple, unattended cremation so your loved ones can concentrate on taking care of each other.
No hidden costs - there will be nothing more for your family or loved ones to pay for the service covered by the plan.
Expert help and support when you need it most – one phone call to our expert team provides guidance, care and attention for your family, keeping everything simple and as stress-free as possible.
Always here to help – our Customer Care Team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide urgent support to the bereaved.
A Trusted Provider– our lovely customers rate us 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
Additional Services
We offer additional services that can be paid for when the time comes – we cannot accept prepayment for these services as costs may change.
Return of ashes within 21 days of the cremation is INCLUDED in our price, but please let us know if you have planned a scattering or memorial service sooner than this.
You can specify a day and time for the return of your loved-one’s ashes, including evenings and weekends.

Please note that this service is not available for ashes crossing the the England, Scotland and Northern Ireland borders.
We are happy to arrange for a family member to collect ashes from our offices or from the crematorium itself if this is more convenient. We will not charge extra for this service.
Even though there is no funeral service, we offer the opportunity to spend up to 20 minutes with your choice of music saying a private farewell.
We want to emphasise that a Pure Cremation is a distinctive service, not a cheap funeral, so there are some restrictions.
Up to 12 people can attend and you can choose either:
A committal at our own Charlton Park Crematorium in Hampshire at a time to suit you, including evenings and weekends.
A committal at one of our carefully chosen venues at 9 am only.

About the Trust
Your money is safe
If you’ve opted to pay for a Trust-Based Funeral Plan, then your money will be placed into the secure, independently managed Trust. When the cremation is needed the Trust requires Pure Cremation Ltd to provide an invoice and proof of death before 2 Trustees sign to release funds to pay for the service you have requested.
The Pure Cremation Funeral Planning Trust was established in January 2016 and just like the market-leading funeral plan trusts it complies with the terms laid down by the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 Chapter 14.
We're proud to be an FPA Registered provider so you can be confident that we do things properly, for example, the Trust's money is managed by one of the UK's leading investment managers, WH Ireland plc.
The Trustees have three principle responsibilities:
The appointment of a qualified, FCA registered investment manager to look after the funds placed into the Trust - W H Ireland plc
The appointment of a suitable funeral provider to carry out plan-holders’ wishes – Pure Cremation Ltd
Overseeing the management of the Trust to ensure that funeral expenses can be met and producing the annual report
The Trust is managed by four Trustees, they are as follows:
Stephen Crewe
(independent trustee)

Funeral Planning Authority (FPA)
Pure Cremation is proud to be registered with the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA). With over 600,000 funerals taking place every year in the UK, it’s important that people that have purchased funeral plans get the funeral they have paid for when it is needed. The FPA was set up in 2002 to protect consumer interests in the UK funeral planning sector, overseeing the pre-paid funeral plan industry and ensuring the highest standards of professionalism are met.
Funeral plan providers register with the FPA to demonstrate their commitment to offering a quality service. The FPA’s Code of Practice contains guidance related to professional conduct, pledges to the customer and complaints procedures. It urges businesses to be courteous, conscientious, dignified and professional towards everyone.
The FPA Code of Practice also protects against unsolicited calls, emails and post, and states that customer information should always be kept confidential. It also outlines the funeral plan provider’s duty to provide a transparent service so you know you’re getting the service you paid for.
