Golden Charter Funeral Plans

Here at Franklin and Hawkins we support Golden Charter funeral plans. Golden Charter is 1 of the three largest providers of funeral plans in the UK and was among the first to apply to the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) for authorisation.

In July 2022 all funeral plan providers have to be authorised by the FCA, the new regulations sadly come too late for the 45,000 customers of Safe Hands Plans Ltd which has collapsed. Joint administrators state “Regrettably the administration means that the Company is not in a position to issue refunds at this time”

If you are considering taking out a funeral plan you are welcome to come and talk to our friendly staff or research all providers. A good place to start is to visit the list of providers who have not applied for FCA authorisation or who have been refused authorisation CLICK here to view
