Whenever I’ve been asked about these things, I’ve said ‘avoid’. Those who can afford them don’t need them, their estates can afford to pay for a decent send off. That’s why they’re marketed to those who can least afford them, who use their remaining savings to pay for a funeral in advance, so as not to ‘be a burden’ when they’ve gone. And of course, good business for the funeral companies and the (until now, unregulated) salesmen. Of course, we’ll now have to compensate those to whom they shouldn’t have been sold in the first place…
