From Tradition & Integrity Comes Peace of Mind

The results of the fifth Sun Life Direct Cost of Dying Survey, published September 2011, shows that the cost of an average funeral has now reached £3,091.00 - an increase of 61% in seven years and that one in five people are struggling to pay funeral costs.

At Walter H. Squires & Son we are pleased to report that the average cost of a funeral service from us is just £2,570.00, more than £500.00 less than the national average.

As a result of this report, there was a considerable amount of news coverage in the press and on the BBC. Funeral planning and Golden Charter in particular was referred to favourably in the ‘Money Matters’ column of the Express, and Golden Charter saw an increase of 37% in their website traffic.

With these figures in mind there has never been a better time to consider a Golden Charter Pre-paid Funeral Plan with Walter H. Squires & Son and take advantage of Walter H. Squires & Son's lower than average prices whilst avoiding rising costs with the Golden Charter guarantee.
