The Post Office finds 6m stressing about their funerals

Around six million people aged over 50 in the UK are worried about the cost of their funerals, a new survey has discovered.

According to the Post Office poll, seven out of ten people - or 70 per cent - within this age bracket have made no plans or put no money aside for their own funeral.

The type of asset most respondents said they wanted to leave behind was money, but just 16 per cent of families said cash was a top priority - 33 per cent revealed that they would rather inherit a memorable possession and 22 per cent said they would value a letter above all else.

Head of protection products at the Post Office Duncan Caesar-Gordon said that although the emphasis is clearly not on money, families "may incur funeral bills, which is a worry for millions of people who want to provide the best possible funeral or life celebration in remembrance of a loved one".

Adults worrying about money are not doing so as part of a panic culture surrounding the recession, advice group Credit Action claimed last week, but have genuine financial problems which need tackling.
