Sun Life Cost Of Dying report 2013<br />

With funeral costs rising far in excess of the annual rate of inflation, it is<br />

an unfortunate fact that, for many families, budgeting for a funeral by<br />

traditional means may no longer be sufficient to cover the cost.<br />

According to the Sun Life Cost of Dying Report 2013, average funeral<br />

costs have risen from £1,2<strong>30</strong> in 1997 to around £4,000 today – an<br />

increase of over 225%. Conservative estimates suggest that by 2024 a<br />

funeral will cost, on average, between £7,000 and £8,000.<br />

We GUARANTEE that however long you live, and however expensive a<br />

funeral is when you pass away, there will always be sufficient funds to<br />

cover all the funeral director’s fees and services.<br />
