Why choose Golden Charter?

The plans we offer are through Golden Charter Trust who we have been dealing with for over 10 years. A separate trust fund will manage your money on behalf of us and Golden Charter pledge whatever happens in the future the fund will continue until every plan has been carried out and payment made to every selected funeral director.

Golden Charter was set up by two funeral directors seeing the need for pre-paid funeral plans and having an inside knowledge of the industry. They are now the U.K number one seller of pre-paid plans, working mainly with Independent Funeral Directors, being recommended by SAIF (National Society and Allied Independent Funeral Directors).
Help The Aged having satisfied themselves that the client would get value for money, freedom of choice and the ability to select their preferred funeral director decided to join forces with Golden Charter to provide a plan dedicated to the over 50s.
