2 A helping hand for your loved ones. We predict that the average cost of a funeral could rise to 4,757 in 2016*, so we understand that many customers take out our Over 50s Life Insurance Plans to help their family cover their funeral costs. We ve teamed up with Dignity, one of the UK s leading providers of funeral services to give you a quick and easy way to get more from your insurance plan.

3 An extra 250 Towards your funeral costs. If you choose our Funeral Benefit Option, the cash sum from your plan will be paid to Dignity, who will make an additional 250 contribution to your funeral with a Dignity Funeral Director. If the cost of your funeral is greater than the total cash sum plus the 250 funeral benefit, then your estate or personal representative would need to pay the difference. If however, the cash sum plus the 250 funeral benefit is greater than the cost of the funeral, then the difference will be paid to your estate by Legal & General and may be subject to inheritance tax. Our Funeral Benefit Option allows you to charge the cash sum from your Over 50s Life Insurance Plan. Charge is the legal term meaning that the cash sum from your Plan is paid directly to Dignity, rather than to your estate. If your policy is already in trust or assigned, the Funeral Benefit Option cannot be added. For more information please contact your financial or legal adviser. Working closely with you Dignity provide welcome packs within 28 days of applying, with all the information that you or your family will need including contact details, and instructions for your loved ones and executors at the time. If you wish, you or your family can notify Dignity of any special requests, such as a particular reading, hymn or piece of music, to help ensure your wishes are respected. All your family need to do at the time is make one phone call to Dignity. They don t have to worry about finding a funeral director. Dignity will then start making the arrangements immediately, providing all the support and guidance your family will need every step of the way. Inflation will, over time, reduce the value of the Fixed Plan cash sum paid out on death.

4 Why choose the funeral benefit option? It will ensure your family receives a helping hand towards your funeral expenses. Your loved ones will receive compassionate care and support from a Dignity Funeral Director. The Funeral Benefit Option is easy to arrange and there is no extra cost.
