Open was recommended to me by my local funeral director, arranged by phone a very easy call with advice all the way through the process very friendly and not rushed, in my case I had already had experience of arranging a funeral and kept the list but I am sure with the guidance of Open all will be catered for .

Theresa from Open prepaid funeral plans was caring, understanding and supportive throughout the whole process.
She kept it simple and didn’t over complicate what is a very sensitive issue.
Communication was efficient and effective and always as promised. I would highly recommend using Open Prepaid funeral plans

Positive experience.

We were unsure what to expect when arranging our prepaid funeral plan. However, our funeral plan arranger, Theresa, was excellent in clarifying the procedures required. The costings were clearly explained and there was no pressure placed upon us to take out a plan there and then.

The lady who dealt with my case was Natalie. She was very helpful, friendly and made sure that I was treated with dignity and respect. Her approach made it very easy to talk to her and to have everything that I required. It was very much appreciated that she followed up our initial call to make sure that I was happy and satisfied with my plan. If only all cases like this had someone like Natalie deal with them, it would make life so much easier and more enjoyable.

Funeral planning experience

I was given clear information in a very competent and considerate manner. The lady I spoke to was extremely helpful, polite and pleasant, and I can't praise or thank her enough. In short she was excellent and I would have no qualms in recommending her. Similarly the Funeral Director at Barnsley Municipal Funerals was very pleasant and helpful

Open Prepaid Funerals & George Roberts Funeral. Scarborough Director

Both George Roberts (Roberts Funeral Director) and Amy Poppitt at Open Prepaid Funerals were excellent and everything was fully explained with absolutely no pressure what so ever.
It is also reassuring to know that "Open" are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and that my money is safely held.
I cannot speak highly enough for the respect and dignity shown while sorting out my chosen requests with such understanding and clarity. Thank you.
