Funeral finance – Pay over time

At Beckfords we understand that regardless of how keenly we price our services, a funeral can often be an unplanned expense that may be difficult to manage. To help with this we have arranged to provide a facility that will enable you to pay monthly over time.

Funeral finance terms may be flexible based on your personal circumstances and you can choose to spread the cost over a period of 12 – 60 months. Sample costs at an average rate of 5.75% and including £150 documentation fee would be: £3,000 over 36 months = £102.59 per month £5,000 over 48 months £131.96 per month

You can also choose to finance all of the funeral or just part of it, including cemetery and cremation memorials.

Please call us if you would like further information.

Minimum term of 12 months, maximum term 60 months. Competitive interest rates apply. Applicants must be at least 21 years old and a resident in Guernsey. 3 months bank statements and copy of ID will be required to process the application.

Finance is offered through a third party, preferred partner. You may also use other loan providers if preferred.
