We all know life in London is a lot more expensive than elsewhere — and unfortunately, so is its end. Protect yourself with British Seniors' simple and fair life insurance policy.
Londoners are more likely than any of their fellow Brits to take out a credit card or payday loan to pay for a funeral, according to a new report by Opinium Research commissioned by British Seniors.
See if you can guess how many of your fellow Londoners get into debt covering the costs of a loved one's funeral when they've got quite enough on their plates already. 5%? 10%?
Not even close. A whopping 40% of Londoners surveyed said they had to take out credit cards or a payday loan (39%) to pay for the funeral of a loved one.
With average funeral costs set to soar by 22% over the decade, now's the time to take your future seriously. 79% of UK adults don't have any contingency plans should the worst happen. Don't be caught unprepared.
