How to Pay for a Loved One's Funeral Without Going Into Debt

Video Blog: How to Pay for a Funeral Without Going Into Debt

It's a terrible time when you've just been bereaved, and the last thing you need is practical worries about paying for the funeral.

I was prompted to make this video my some very silly urban myths that were perpetuated in a recent popular TV drama. The storyline was about a family who'd just lost a close relative, and the worries they had about paying for her funeral.

It was a great bit of entertainment, but it contained some utter nonsense! For example, that a deceased person's bank account can't be accessed to pay for their funeral, because you need to go through Probate first. And even, that it's "illegal" to access a deceased person's bank account to pay their funeral bill! It's rather irresponsible to broadcast false information like this, even in a drama. The audience is bound to include recently bereaved people, who might believe what they see on the TV, only adding to their stress.

"Although we didn't think our financial affairs or family arrangements were particularly complicated, Gina talked us through all the things we should consider to ensure what we put in place was right for us and our family. She is clearly very knowledgeable and gave us lots of advice and guidance and explained everything so we understood the implications of our decisions. The paperwork was drawn up quickly and accurately based on our discussions. She also helped my parents with their estate planning. She reviewed their current arrangements and has drawn up lasting Powers of Attorney for them both. Again, everything was explained clearly and sensitively and I know my parents are also very happy with the service they received. I would happily recommend WillWritten to anyone considering making a Will or looking to review their estate planning. "
