Is it worth pre-paying for your funeral?

Pre-paid funeral plans are sold as peace of mind – that there'll be cash on hand for your last hoorah. But they can be a big financial commitment. And if you change your mind about signing up, it’s hard to get your money out. These plans aren’t for everyone and there are simpler ways of funding your final farewell.

We looked at 6 pre-paid funeral plans plus 5 funeral insurance options.
