3.3 You must write and tell us about any change to your circumstances including any change to your address.
Section 4 – Applies only where you have chosen the monthly payment option
4.1 You must pay the total cost over an agreed set period. You will have paid a deposit and then pay a set amount each month by Direct Debit.
4.2 The fixed monthly payments cannot be reduced. You can choose to pay lump sums on top of your payments if you decide or increase your monthly payment in order to complete the payment earlier. The amount of the monthly payment depends on the funeral plan chosen by you.
4.3 The monthly payment is not available after attaining the age of 75 (seventy-five) years.
4.4 If, at the date of your death any payment is in arrears or any part of the total cost is still unpaid, we will only provide the funeral services when the outstanding balance is paid.
4.5 We will refund all the money you have paid if you cancel your funeral plan within 14 days of the start date (cooling off period). If you cancel after those 14 days, we will charge a cancellation fee of 495 euros. This fee will be deducted from the amount refunded.

6.5 We will communicate with and follow instructions from either you or your representative on all matters relating to your funeral services. References to you will, therefore, include references to your representative (instead of you) where appropriate. If there is any inconsistency between instructions given by you (or any person legally authorised to deal with your affairs) and by your representative in relation to the funeral services, we will follow your instructions (or the instructions of any legally authorised persons).
