Houghtons Funeral Directors Ltd
Independent Family Funeral Service
With all the different funeral plans advertised on TV and radio by celebrities and in newspapers and magazines it can be confusing and worrying making the right choice. Please remember that the best funeral plan for you is the one that fits your needs.
A plan with Houghtons & Ecclesiastical Planning Services can provide the highest quality of care, help and advice with outstanding financial security and exceptional level of support for your family / executor at a time they need it most.
Our Funeral Plans start at only £1635 and could provide peace of mind that you have made provision for your own funeral. Every penny of the full value of your funeral plan (excluding the initial Ecclesiastical administration fee) is ring-fenced to pay for your funeral.
