Help with the funeral
If you’d like to use some of the money from the account to pay for the funeral, you don’t need to wait until you’ve got it – we can pay the funeral director directly from the account for you. If you need help choosing a funeral director, The National Association of Funeral Directors provides bereaved people with information and assurance to help them choose a compassionate and professional funeral director they can trust.
