At one of the most testing times in life, the last worry that anyone needs is the stress of arranging payment for a loved one’s funeral. Our staff have been on hand to help people in the Burnley and Pendle communities for over 39 years with funeral loans, helping families financially when they need support the most.

When people are mourning a loved one, we understand everyone requires a different service, some prefer not speak to another person when applying for a funeral loan and we respect that, for those that want a real person to go through the loan process step-by-step and to be there when a query arises – then a Credit Union is a good choice.

At PCCU you will deal with real people, who have dealt with sensitive issues which demand compassion.

Unfortunately we are often contacted by people who feel they are in a desperate situation, where funeral directors are instructing families that plans cannot go forward without payment. Even though the members of staff who deal with the funeral loan applications have no connection to the families, we are fully aware of the pressure that this adds to an already unbearable time and we work with speed to reach a decision.

Another issue we understand about funeral loans, is that no two funerals cost the same, at PCCU our staff sit down with a person and work out the best repayment plan for the each individual loan. Once a loan is approved the money is quickly available to be sent via BACS to a bank account or directly to a funeral director.

We know that many funerals cost thousands of pounds, which is a great concern for families in the Burnley and Pendle communities, if you would like to speak to a member of staff regarding the funeral loans that PCCU can provide please telephone 01282 691333 or leave your details for us to contact you.
