    I'd say you should start by deciding what sort of funeral you want and how much it will cost.

    This - www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/prepaid-funeral-plans/ - was updated last August so prices should be right.
    My parents bought theirs years ago from AgeUK and we were very pleased with the service provided by their designated funeral director.  The plan guaranteed that it would cover all costs so there wasn't any extra to pay when the time came.
    Don't know whether AgeUK is still as good - check out the different plans before choosing.
    If the event might be a long time in the future, why not just put money aside in a savings account for now.
  • Thank you. That was helpful.
