Don’t Wait Until You Have to Plan a Funeral to Plan a Funeral!

The Guide to Affordable Funerals

The Save Funeral Costs book helps you organise an affordable funeral and save more. When you lose a loved one, the last thing on your mind is finding an undertaker who carries out affordable funerals.

You are focused on grief and getting through the funeral planning as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this means you are making financial decisions while under stress, which is often a costly mistake.

Save Funeral Costs founder, SW Barratt
The author SW Barratt

I wrote the book from personal experience after the death of a relative. I visited the same undertaker that my family had used for over thirty years. They had always previously provided a good service for a reasonable cost, but were now very expensive.

I then by accident discovered a low-cost undertaker who could provide the same service for nearly 50% less.

By writing the book and founding the Save Funeral Costs site I am aiming to provide clear guidance and make the public aware of quality low-cost alternatives. Many other funeral cost-savings are listed in the guide.

By having the knowledge, you can avoid making costly decisions that can prevent you from looking for an undertaker who can provide affordable funerals.

The book clearly explains how to arrange an affordable funeral while maintaining dignity.

The death of a loved one can be an emotionally challenging time and it is easy to lose focus.
