THE FAMILY-LED FUNERAL
The Orchid Plan is a simple funeral plan that covers the costs of all the practical and essential elements of a cremation, without the need to pay for traditional ceremonial aspects you might not want. It enables your family to organise a personalised funeral service in the crematorium chapel, with help from our professional experts over the phone. Your family can choose the ceremonial format, music, visual tributes and selection of a minister or celebrant.
This funeral plan does not include some of the more expensive costs such as a procession with a hearse and limousines, which means we can provide our funeral services for much less than a traditional Funeral Director.

What's not included in this simple funeral plan
It’s important to understand what isn’t included in The Orchid Plan. This plan does not include:
* Medical certification fees. For deaths where a coroner investigation is required, there are no medical certifications fees. Also, changes to legislation in May 2015 mean there will no longer be a charge for a medical certification for any deaths registered in Scotland. Similar legal changes are being considered for the rest of the UK, so we do not include provision for these fees in our Plans. If the funeral takes place outside of Scotland, and a coroner is not involved, then if applicable, the medical certification fees should be paid by the next of kin or personal representative, when arranging the funeral.
UNDERSTANDING THE PLAN
Once your plan is set up, you can have peace of mind that we’ll keep your funds safe in a Funeral Trust Fund. We'll send your Planholder's pack in the post, along with a copy for you to share with your next of kin.
Planning your funeral in advance can not only help ensure your wishes are honoured when the time comes, but also relieves your loved ones from any stress or uncertainty over your funeral wishes.
When the plan is needed, your loved ones only need to make a single phone call to us and we'll start to make arrangements straightaway.

I first made enquires a couple of months back and did nothing straight away. They were very patient and when they spoke with me did not badger me to make up my mind. Once I did it was so simple. Well done.

Easy online process and pleasant agent took details. Local Funeral Directors appointed were very efficient and Ashes collected and well presented. We had an unattended funeral due to the Covid Pandemic and believe the cost to be very moderate. We were notified that the cremation had taken place but would have liked to know the exact time and date in advance for rememberance purposes.

It's a thing we all dread to think about, let alone do, but Simplicity Cremations made it so easy with their great choice of plans. Their staff are delightful to talk to, pleasant and professional. Great feeling knowing I've taken the stress off of someone else having to organise this.
