  2. Lodge Brothers Woking Coroner Office

    February 5, 2022 by admin

    Just as the cost of living increases from year to year, the cost of dying is no different. The SunLife cost of dying report for 2021, an annual sector-leading research paper, which has been providing a comprehensive overview of funeral costs since 2004, shows that the cost of funerals has continued to increase on an annual basis. One positive aspect however is that the increase of funeral-related costs has at least slowed down somewhat over the last 2 years.

    The same report goes on to explain that the average cost of dying in 2021, depending on where in the UK you live, is £8,864 – that is down 4.3% since 2020.

    Funeral costs are rarely included as part of the average family’s annual budget. The Lodge Brothers family of Coroners Woking, offer a variety of cost-effective solutions aimed at assisting families to deal with the costs, which arise when a loved one passes away.

    Lodge Brothers Coroners Langley offer a range of pre-paid for and planned funeral packages, with a suitable budget option for all, all of which are designed to alleviate the inevitable financial and emotional strain which is placed on families when a loved one passes away. What makes the difference is the Lodge Brothers pledge to ensure that there are no hidden extras to surprise you, after all is said and done. Lodge Brothers publishes a full list of all costs attached to funeral planning on their website for full transparency and will provide a detailed quote prior to proceeding with any of the funeral arrangements, so that the families of the deceased know and understand everything that they will be required to pay for.

            

    In the case of pre-planned arrangements, the deceased has already made most of the tough decisions on behalf of their loved ones. In fact, any person who would like to make their funeral wishes known, can use the complimentary service on the website which is kept on file in the event of their demise, so that when their family choses Lodge Brothers Coroners Westminster, all of the hard decisions are already made ahead of time. Using this service does not commit anyone to a funeral plan with Lodge Brothers – it simply ensures that when you loved ones chose Lodge Brothers for funeral arrangements, the wishes of the deceased shared with the family who can then provide the funeral just as you would have, if you had planned it yourself.

    Besides being able to rely on our 240 years of experience in the business of assisting families with funerals, when loved ones reach out to Lodge Brothers at their time of need, not only are they ensured of having full sight of what has been arranged and the cost of doing so, but they are also guaranteed many additional extra’s, which other Funeral homes will charge for, at no extra cost. Services such as afterhours attendance, arrangements for family viewings at the chapel of rest, delivery of ashes, additional staff or bearers, access to bereavement support and house calls, all come as part of the full service which you can expect to receive from Lodge Brothers across the UK.

  10. Lodge Brothers offer a professional and personal service that our clients have come to rely on

    July 21, 2018 by admin

    There is nothing in life as certain as death and taxes. Attributed to Benjamin Franklin for putting this truth of life into plain text for all to remember, there is certainly no truer statement about life. Life is at best, unpredictable and no one can blame a person for spending most of their lives, avoiding the topic of their death or the passing of someone they love. It is undeniable that of all the things in life that we wish to spend time to worry about, death does not make the top of the list. Yet if you think about how much time and energy goes into protecting life, it makes sense that equal energy should be affording to the loss of life.

    The cost of living is high. Medical services and insurances are perpetually increasing in costs. Taking steps to finance yourself in your retirement years is expensive but must be planned in advance otherwise the rising costs of inflation will stifle your options. As you age and finally reach retirement age, not everyone has the luxury of having had the chance to set themselves up to afford their own lives in their later years, once retirement age has been reached.

    What happens to older folk as they age. True that the costs of child-raising should drop as your children become independent and begin to have jobs of their own. The cost of educating your children falls away as they begin to set themselves up in life to be able to independently afford their own lifestyles and families. Older folks may choose to downsize their homes, cars and other aspects of their lives which may have previously been necessary.
    The picture that is given to us of our the golden age of retirement is that of restful afternoon naps and travelling abroad to sun-filled countries. But what if, as in life, the unexpected happens? How do you account for the unaccountable? The only way to do that is to expect the unexpected. And when it comes to your passing, or old age, the best thing that you can do as a young person, is speak to people who are experts in this area. Lodge Brothers offer comprehensive legal services including Wills, Probate and Power of Attorney Walton 0n Thames.

    There are things that are vital for a young person to do in order to prepare in order to protect the ones around them from unexpected financial problems caused from your passing. The first and most important thing to do is to prepare a Will. When someone dies without a Will, the issues can be numerous and unpredictable. Life is complicated, so preparing a Will helps to ensure that your passing doesn’t complicate the lives of those closest to you. Having a Will not only allows you to advise on things such as how and where you would like to be buried, who will receive your possessions and to what degree, it also takes the strain off the lives of those around you… by choosing an attorney to help with your affairs while in probate, you ease the strain on your family members significantly. For peace of mind contact Lodge Brothers Power of Attorney Weybridge.
