Lifting the Lid: Exploring the benefits of funeral plans

19 Jul 2024 | 1 min read time

We were recently invited to discuss all things funeral plans on the ‘Lifting the Lid’ podcast, which aims to dispel the myths around the funeral profession and provide insight on what goes on behind the scenes of a modern funeral director business.

Hosted by G. Seller Independent Funeral Directors, one of our trusted funeral director partners, the informative podcast series covers everything from how to arrange a funeral to dealing with grief.

In this latest episode, Andy Eeley and Joseph Barsby of G. Seller were joined by Carly Ross, Golden Charter’s Director of Communications, to explore the benefits of pre-paid funeral plans.
