F.E STRIKE & SONS
FUNERAL SERVICES
Talking about death and funerals isn’t easy. And yet there are several very good reasons why having a funeral plan in place makes perfect sense – from an emotional, practical and financial point of view. From a traditional funeral, to something simpler, with a plan in place you can make sure you get the send-off you really want.
A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service. The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.
At F.E Strike & Sons, we’re proud to partner with Golden Charter, one of the UK’s largest funeral plan providers.* With a Golden Charter funeral plan you can choose us as your preferred funeral director. When the time comes, we’ll take care of your wishes locally with the utmost care and respect.
It means your Golden Charter funeral plan offers the best of both worlds – the reassurance of a leading plan provider and our personal care and service when it matters most. Rest assured a plan from Golden Charter is available to all UK residents regardless of age or state of health.

FUNERAL PRICING
At F.E Strike & Sons we have always tailored our pricing very much to the individual requirements of a family or to reflect the instructions or wishes left by the person who has died. Funeral arrangements under current restrictions are very simple and the price of our services will reflect this.
We provide each family with:
A Verbal Estimate – at any time from your first contact with us, but
more often after discussing the arrangements with you.
A Written Estimate – This can be provided after our visit or telephone
arrangement.
An Invoice – Usually between 7 and 10 days following a funeral.
All of the above will include a breakdown of the Third Party Fees that
we pay on your behalf (e.g. Cremation/Burial fees, Clergy/Celebrant
fees etc.) and our charges (e.g. Professional fees, hearse and bearers,
choice of coffin etc.)
We only charge for the services that you require, and we do not
normally ask for any payment in advance. Please feel free to contact
us to chat through any concerns or questions that you may have regarding costs or payment.
Our prices start at £1650 for a direct cremation . We have
available ‘pricing examples’ of the typical cost of funerals provided
using local crematoriums and burial grounds. If you would like a
copy of these prior to any arrangement appointment with us, please
telephone or request them by email on enquiries@festrikeandsons.co.uk
