Co-op Funeralcare are accessible widely throughout the UK, meaning members can access this valuable service easily at a difficult time. Our Over 50s Life Insurance and Funeral Benefit Option allows our members peace of mind knowing that their affairs will be in good hands if the worst should happen.”

“We’re really pleased to be working alongside Shepherds Friendly to offer a Funeral Benefit Option to plan holders.
