Contained within your funeral plan pack (which you receive after you purchase a Serene Funeral Plan),  there is a letter containing the name and contact details of your nominated funeral director. In the event of your passing, your plan representative will contact your nominated funeral director. The funeral director  will offer advice and guidance at the time of need.

We will appoint a nominated funeral director for you when you take out your funeral plan. If you have a preferred funeral  director, please let us know when you apply, and we will endeavour to allocate your plan to your selected funeral director. In some circumstances this may not be possible. In the event of this occurring, we will contact you to discuss an alternative.

For all Whole of Life policies, the insurer will pay Serene Funeral Planning the proceeds. We will use the proceeds to pay the nominated funeral director for the funeral services contained within your funeral plan.
