We provide actuarial services to a number of pre-paid funeral plan providers and their trusts. We consider our actuarial team to be one of the most experienced teams within the funeral plan industry.

What is funeral plan consultancy?

Providing actuarial services and investment consultancy for funeral plan providers and the funeral plan trust industry involves specialised financial and risk management services. These are tailored to organisations that offer funeral plans and manage the associated trust funds.

What does our funeral plan consultancy include?

We advise funeral plan providers and trusts ranging from around £1m to over £1bn.

As well as doing the necessary calculations and producing valuation and Solvency Assessment reports, we have provided ad-hoc advice on a wide range of issues. In particular, we have been assisting our clients on the future regulation of providers by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We have also helped clients with pricing new products.
