Am I eligible?

Most people are. You just need to be:

  • A UK resident
  • Aged 18 or over
  • Have a regular income (employed, self-employed, pension, or some benefits)
  • Able to afford the monthly repayments
  • We look at your current circumstances, not just your credit history.

  • Funeral Finance FAQs

    No - we only do a soft search at first, which never shows on your credit file.

     

    Yes. Most families ask us to pay the funeral parlour straight away so there’s nothing to settle later.

    Never. You can settle the loan at any time with no extra charges and save on additional interest.

    *A full credit check is carried out if the customer proceeds with a finance application, which leaves a footprint and be visible to other lenders.
