Time to talk about your choices

If there’s one thing guaranteed to raise a debate in any family, workplace or group of friends it’s how you have your morning cuppa. Are you a fan of builder’s brew? Or warm milk with a hint of tea? Do you like it as sugary as a piece of cake?

Many of us have strong opinions about our choice of tea and indeed, the hundreds of other daily choices we make, from what’s for lunch, to where we’re going on holiday to what type of car to buy.

But there’s one important choice we’re reluctant to discuss – our funeral.

Lincolnshire Co-op’s funeral services team is keen to get people talking about that choice.

Funeral Planning Consultant Michelle Gage said: “It might sound strange but having an open and honest discussion with your loved ones about your wishes is positive. When the time comes, it will give them comfort as they know what you would have wanted.”

As well as talking to your family and friends, you may consider investing in a Lincolnshire Co-op Funeral Plan. When your funeral arrangements are entrusted to us, we make sure loved ones have no more to worry about than necessary.

Our caring and professional funeral colleagues can talk through all your requirements and help you choose a variety of personal touches.

There’s lots of options for transport, from our own fleet of hearses and limousines to horse-drawn carriages or even a motorcycle-hearse. You can choose music, readings and flowers or something a bit different, like the release of doves. We also employ memorial masons who can produce unique tributes.

You're guaranteed excellent value with us as there's no middleman. Our colleagues organise and carry out funerals themselves, so you’ll have complete peace of mind.

We’ve signed the Fair Funerals pledge to prove we’re committed to transparent pricing and helping people find a funeral that’s affordable.

A funeral plan also means the arrangements will be carried out at today’s prices, whenever the time to use it comes.

We’re offering 10% dividend on funerals plans throughout March, so it’s the perfect time to pop in to your local Lincolnshire Co-op funeral branch, have your choice of cuppa and speak to our knowledgeable team.

We have 22 funeral homes across our area so there’s sure to be one near you, find your nearest branch.
