I AM sure the letter from Mr R Morse will provoke some response from funeral directors explaining why funeral costs have increased faster than inflation. Certainly bank and building society savings accounts have not kept pace with these increases and more people are finding that if adequate provision is not made for funeral costs, the value of any estate left will be reduced.

An Age Concern Funeral Plan takes away the worry of inflation and gives you a choice of three. By taking out one of these plans, you can freeze the cost of your funeral at today's prices. No matter how far ahead it may be and how high prices may have risen, you will still get the quality of the funeral you specified even if its real cost has soared in the meantime.
