About Open Prepaid Funerals

Open Prepaid Funerals Limited was formed in 2003 with the aim of providing a financially secure and ethical method of planning a future funeral by specialising in prepaid funeral plans. We offer a range of prepaid funeral plans, from a low-key unattended cremation to attended services designed to suit a variety of requirements. You can also create almost anything you require in our very detailed and unique bespoke plan.

The cost of your prepaid funeral plan depends entirely on the plan you choose, your personal preference and the level of service that you require. The expert team of Open Advisers will talk you through this on the telephone, online using a webcam, or if required, face to face.

Once set up, your payment is made into The Open Prepaid Funerals Trust Fund, where it is managed by professional fund managers, overseen by a board of trustees and independently audited annually. The trust deed has been created in such a way that its purpose is to offer greater protection to you the plan holder and your family or estate. We here at Leverton and Sons Ltd will have the responsibility for the provision of your funeral on behalf of you through Open Prepaid Funerals.

Why Choose a Prepaid Funeral Plan

By choosing a prepaid funeral plan, this is a simple and practical way to let your loved ones know that everything is taken care of. Some of the main benefits include:

  • Reduces financial burden – as the funeral plan will be paid up front or in monthly instalments, this can reduce the financial burden on loved ones when the time comes.
  • Can alleviate emotional stress - planning your funeral beforehand helps to alleviate added stress, but also provides a caring solution to decrease emotional stress on your loved ones.
  • Funeral Director professional fees are fixed – although funeral plan prices may fluctuate due to inflation, the price of the funeral directors professional services is fixed at the time the plan has been bought – meaning that your plan is safe for years to come.
  • Contribution to disbursements – your plan can include a contribution to third party costs, such as; the crematorium cost, a minister or officiant to carry out the service, flowers or obituary notices. Your contribution to disbursements is not guaranteed to be covered and your family or estate may have to make an additional contribution at the time of need. A list of potential disbursements are available in our terms and conditions.
  • Individual personalisation – by choosing a prepaid funeral plan, you can decide on the theme of your own funeral yourself and ensure that everything is to your taste and personal preference ahead of the time.

By choosing a local independent funeral director with Open Prepaid Funerals, you can receive a high-quality experience along with the expertise required – allowing you to be safe in the knowledge your funeral is taken care of when the time comes. Simply get in touch with us and we will arrange an appointment with an Open Adviser or you can contact Open directly on 0330 660 0072 to get the process started.

My family and friends have been using Levertons for over 50 years due to their excellent service. On my recent visit to arrange my Mum's cremation it was dealt with by Lorna who has a very kind, caring and professional manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Levertons.

Funeral of my 2nd Cousin Jamie Knight. James was fantastic. Caring, helpful, professional- reasonable cost, but CANNOT BE FALTERED. Service sheet compilation, Crem funeral and memorial service great. Adaptable and willing to guide me, I was the contact, through the complexity in this sad time. I would change nothing. All I can end with is, THANK YOU. Frank Illingworth

We have known and used Levertons over 50 years and have interned a few family members with them. Lorna was informative, attentive, sensitive and professional to all our needs with the recent funeral of my father. I would highly recommend there's service and Micheal and the staff were polite and respectful. Thank you.

Levertons was the 3rd funeral directors we went to in the local area and I wished I had gone to them first. We went with Levertons and had absolutely no issues at all. They were caring, understanding and knew what we wanted without pushing us in to making any decisions. They didn’t push us in to going to things we didn’t need and explained everything down to a T. The staff on the day of mums funeral went above and beyond and helped us all as a family feel at easy and stress free. Lorna in particular was anmazing and so caring and I highly recommend using Levertons after dealing with them myself. Thank you all at Levertons for your care and support over our difficult time.

From start to finish the service we received from Levertons was faultless. Kind, caring and unwaveringly professional the team, and especially Craig, made a difficult and emotionally charged situation easy to understand and navigate. We (and especially my darling dad) were extremely well looked after throughout. I would t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you.

All of the staff here are absolutely brilliant but especially Carmel who arranged my Dad's funeral. She answered my constant stream of questions and emails, was there every step of the way for us all and was so lovely with it all. She took all of the stress from us and guided us through it all from beginning to end which was just the biggest relief as we had no clue what to do. We would have been lost without her.

The funeral was carried out very sensitively and highly professionally by Levertons. Deborah always made herself available or responded quickly and was extremely helpful. She made sure we covered all that needed to be done and coordinated with others on our behalf to make things run smoothly, down to the smallest detail.

Leverton and sons are a very organised business, never having planned a funeral myself I didn’t know how much would go into it but they made the process as easy as possible, everything was always efficient which made the organising of the funeral very quick. James was the person in charge of organising the funeral, he was quick at responding to calls/emails and answering any questions we had. Everything was as we wanted it and was very happy with the service that they provided.

I think that from the very beginning until the very end Levertons were absolutely brilliant. Helpful, professional and I cannot think of a word that conveys how good they were. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
