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.

"We decided to seek advice about estate planning because we wanted to understand how to efficiently protect our assets and pass them safely to our children and grandchildren. We also wanted to put as much help in place for our family as possible, so as to make things as easy as possible for them when the time comes. We liked Gina’s patient and diligent manner in answering our questions and guiding us to the right solutions. Gina explained everything to us with great clarity, making concepts we were unfamiliar with accessible and clear. We particularly liked the fact that Gina came to see us in our own home without our having to make a special request; this is just the way she works. It was so much easier for us to relax and talk freely in the comfort and privacy of our home. Having put the right estate plan in place we feel that we have ticked a big box. This was something we knew we had to get round to. Now it is done and sorted and we don't have to worry about it anymore. We have also gained a clear understanding of the measures that have been put in place and why they are important. "
