According to Telegraph Money, the cost of dying is now rising twice as fast as the cost of living. An over 50 plans are a type of life insurance that require you to pay monthly premiums. When you die, your plan provider pays out a lump sum\u00a0 which can be used to support your family or pay your funeral costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
But sadly sometimes these plans fall short.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Many people feel unhappy about leaving their bereaved families with the bother of a large funeral bill as well as the stress of organising it all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Recent figures from the Money Advice Service, show that the cost of a funeral has almost doubled in cost, a funeral with a funeral director now costs around \u00a34,400, this cost can be quite a bit more depending on location and funeral arrangements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In London, the price of a funeral is almost double the national average. Due to the cost many people are opting for a direct cremation, this is when the body is cremated\u00a0 immediately following the death without a funeral service beforehand, this being the most economical.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
