An ever-increasing number of people are choosing to take out a funeral plan. We sell Independent Way Funeral Plans through Golden Charter, as we believe these give the best option and security, for those wishing to arrange and pay for their funeral in advance. With an Independent Way Funeral Plan your payments are paid into the Golden Charter Trust which is run by an independent Board of Trustees - separate from Golden Charter.
