A simple and thoughtful way to record your wishes, help your family and plan ahead with confidence — without paying into a funeral plan or handing money over in advance. Planning Ahead Without Pressure At Bay Tree Funeral Directors, we understand that not everyone wants a prepaid funeral plan. Some families prefer to simply record their wishes clearly and keep their finances in their own hands. In many cases, when someone dies, the bank’s bereavement team may be able to pay a funeral invoice directly from the deceased person’s account, if funds are available and the correct documents are provided.
