Hello, I had been contemplating back in June 2019 with regards to finding a suitable funeral plan. Just by chance, I somehow came across Not For Profit Funeral Plans. I spoke to a gentleman called John Lecomber & had the opportunity to ask him as many questions that I could think of. He was absolutely brilliant with the responses that he gave me & I didnt feel under pressure to commit to anything. There was definitely no hard sale tactics involved which I think many people should find pleasing. He then offered to to send me brochure (at my request) & I received it promptly in the post. I managed to read & scrutinise all the information provided & I also liked that everything was explained clearly, without any complicated jargon. I also liked the comparison chart that I was given, of the main national providers & how much they charged, compared to Not For Profit Funeral Plans. I called John the following day & without further delay & with confidence, I purchased my funeral policy. This included a 100 promotional discount. I was also very grateful to John for his help in completing all the necessary forms over the telephone & I received my funeral policy, a couple of days later by post. The funeral policy booklet that I received was very well presented & included the breakdown of costs of what I had paid for & other information provided that was easy to read & comprehend. I am so happy that I have made the right choice, with the purchase of my funeral policy & in the event of my death, I can at least now say that I have taken responsibility for my future funeral costs, without anyone else having to worry about. As I was so happy with my funeral policy, I thought I would look at my parents funeral policies & compare them with mine. My parents had a life Insurance policy with the Co-op which they had been contributing monthly payments for over 20 years, to pay towards their funeral costs. I noticed that my mother had to pay more towards her policy per month because she had multiple health conditions. Their funeral provider (the Co-op) were then taken over by a very reputable company called Royal London. As I was looking at their life insurance policies, I was shocked by how much they would receive as a cash lump sum, in the event of each others death. There wasnt enough money to pay towards their funeral costs. I dont think that my elderly parents were aware of how much they would receive either, as they hadnt had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with their documentation & had not seen it for so many years. My parents were in their 80s. My father was in a nursing home & I am still my mothers main Carer & had to explain to them both what I had discovered. Based on the purchase of my funeral policy that I had made with Not For Profit Funeral Plans, I told them how confident & happy I felt & if they would be interested in purchasing a funeral policy, that was similar to mine. I know they felt apprehensive but, John very kindly sent two more brochures for their perusal. After seeing how much money they could save & everything else that would be included, I was then given their permission (from the lump sum they received from their policies with Royal London), to purchase their individual funeral policies from Not For Profit Funeral Plans. Again, having received their documents, they were very happy. Sadly, my father passed away in April this year. He was a tetraplegic & had been Paralysed for 14 years, after a tragic accident. Unfortunately, due COVID-19, only a few family members were allowed to attend his Cremation. I would also like to thank John for liaising with our local Funeral Company, for the wonderful service that they provided & the beautiful ashes box, which my family are hoping to inter next September, on my late fathers Birthday. Thank you to everyone who has spent time to read my review & hope you will happy & confident, in purchasing a funeral policy from Not For Profit Funeral Plans. Hope everyone keeps safe & well. Kind regards. Trevsl2
