We are a small independent run company, this allows us to provide a more personal customer focused service. We can offer our plans cheaper than our fellow FCA regulated competitors simply because we don't have the overheads that they do! We then pass our savings onto our customers. Simple, clear and transparent

We’ve put all our expertise into these free guides to help make your decisions
We all have worries that our family will be looked after once we are gone. Your funeral is one of the things that will need to be dealt with, so it is no surprise many people are planning ahead and buying a Crystal pre-paid plan.
Martin Gundlach
Often having a conversation with your loved ones about your “death plans” can be hard to initiate but here at Crystal we can offer some ideas on how you can help them to understand your reason for wanting that conversation.

A Direct Cremation is a simple low-cost budget funeral that in recent years have become increasingly popular.

The cost of making a will over the phone is £ 99 for a single will or £165 for couples. Our support team are here to help and answer any questions. We will listen to your needs and make sure the will is completed exactly as per your wishes. We will then print off and send it out to you in the post, presented in a professional folder for you to store and keep. We also store a copy of your will here at Crystal for your peace of mind. Unlike many other Will writers this is a free service offered by Crystal Life Planning.
This depends on what or how much of the will you would like to change or update. We charge a standard fee of £30 for a basic update such as change of address. Or take advantage of a low yearly subscription, giving unlimited updates, amendments & free storage. Please call our team for more advise should you wish to update your will.
Simply put, that is totally up to you, we at Crystal Life Planning value our clients wish, so if you want to leave your estate to your partner, your parents, your children or your favourite charity, its your choice. However, choosing who you leave your estate to is an important decision and careful consideration should be given when making these choices.
An executor of a will is somebody you nominate to carry out the wishes left in your will. They could be a friend, family member or a professional – the most important thing is that they feel comfortable and confident administering your estate.
Save yourself £100's compared to High Street Solicitors. At Crystal Life Planning, we charge just £99 for a single will or £165 for a couples mirrored will.
Not with the Direct Cremation Plan. We have gone to great lengths to carefully select reputable crematoriums around the country. We select the crematorium that best suits the location of the deceased, combined with how you would like the ashes delivered.
However, with our Celebration of Life Plan and Traditional Plan you have the choice of crematoria.
We’re only a phone call away
