The COST of funeral in U.K

The cost of funeral differ in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can eliminate some of the financial on your family by choosing and purchasing a burial plot while you are still alive. Some county, town or city will not allow you to purchase a burial plot before hand.

You would be surprised at how expensive a plot of land cost of course you will have to choose a burial plot that fits into your budget. Also, consider that most burial plots cost more money if you are not currently living in the area.

Determine if you would like to purchase ground or buy rights to that land for a designated amount of time. Many cemeteries do not allow you to outright purchase a plot of land. Instead, you buy the right to that land for 10 to 100 years. Typically, you can renew that agreement if you don't die within that time period. If you want to purchase a burial plot, you will need to find burial ground that meets those needs.

Land only gets more expensive as time passes. No matter how old you are, it is best to choose and purchase burial ground, or the right to a plot before you die or at the time of an impending funeral. Usually, the funeral directors handling the funeral can arrange to purchase the plot, but you can do it yourself if that's your preference.

Dear muslim brothers and sisters. As a muslim ummah, we request that every family saves at least £3,000 for one of the family members funeral expense. As you know that it can be very expensive in the near future. This will definately help and overcome the family's financial difficulties at that time. It will also speed the process of funeral service/burial, instead of storing the deceased body in the cold room and telling the people the body has not been discharged.

A MATURE PERSON BEFORE TAKING ANY TRIP SHOULD PREPARE ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY, AND SINCE NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THIS JOURNEY WILL START, THEN IT BECOMES LOGICAL TO GET READY RIGHT AWAY.
