Completely above board, super polite and really helpful. I didn’t need a new plan since I already got one sorted, but if I hadn’t, I’d definitely be keen - could save a fair bit of cash.

Got a sales call about prepaid funeral plans, they rang my mum who’s 81. She told them she’s not allowed to chat about stuff like that, it’s a rule from her daughters! We keep warning her cause she gets loads of these calls all the time. Problem is, mum’s started giving out my number to them! Anyway, I told those people to remove mine and mum’s details from their list as we really don’t want or need their offers - they said they’d do it. We’ll see if they actually do.

These folks keep ringing me non stop. When I do pick up, they’re straight into their sales spiel about funeral plans. I tell em I’ve already got it sorted, so I’m not interested. They sound polite enough, but no matter how many times I ask to be taken off their list, the calls just keep coming. If I don’t answer and let the answering machine get it, they just hang up. Lately, they’ve been calling almost every day, always about the same time too.

Brilliant firm named Choice Future Planning sorted out my funeral arrangements and was with me every step of the way. A lovely bloke called Dale Conway was the one who helped organise everything and took care of all my requirements.

I told the caller I was battling cancer and found it awful to be cold-called about a funeral plan so early in the day. He then said he wouldn’t have bothered if he’d known about my illness. When I snapped back that he had no clue how many others he’s distressing, he just ended the call. Seriously, who do we report this to? Who actually does anything about these calls? The Caller ID and Telephone Preference Service are pointless, they don’t stop a thing. What can we do to put an end to all this?

I'm really fed up with this company ringing me non-stop. I've told them multiple times to stop calling, but it makes no difference. Today alone I got two calls - first a young woman, then about ten minutes later a young bloke. Honestly, I don’t know what it takes for them to get the message that I want zero contact.

Some woman called Pam rang me and was proper rude. I told her I'd just got in from work and had been to the docs because I wasn’t feeling great. She didn’t even care and just kept pushing her spiel. I said it was really not the time, I felt unwell and wasn’t interested, but she just said “you don’t even know what I gotta say yet.” I told her it was horrible to be hassled about funerals like this and she just said “what’s so awful about it?” I told them to remove me from their list and hung up. Not a single bit of politeness from her!

On Thursday, 3rd March 2016, I got a call from someone who said he was Dale Conway from Dignity Funerals. He was trying to get me to sign up for a funeral policy so I wouldn’t leave the cost to my family. He mentioned it would cost £29 a month, saying it was a fixed price, and wanted me to set it up right away over the phone, asking for my bank details. I told him I don’t share banking info on calls like that, and then he just hung up on me.

This number gave me a really upsetting call, claiming to be from First Choice Funeral Plans. My wife, who is battling an incurable cancer, was asked for by name, which was horrible to hear. I don't understand how they even got hold of her phone number. When I reached out to First Choice Funeral Plans to find out who was behind this, they refused to tell me the third party involved. Please watch out for the tactics used by First Choice, and beware of calls from 0191740037.

Choice Future Planning teamed up with Dignity to offer pre-paid funeral plans. Everything seemed proper and above board, just not something I was keen on since I’ve already got enough saved up for my funeral.

i have checked this number on loads of review websites and most of the feedback is negative, but funny enough on the 19th of January there’s a comment that’s positive on a few of them. honestly, it wouldnt shock me if someone from Choice Future Planning has been posting those themselves.

I got a call from this outsourcing firm wanting to chat about how expensive funerals have become in the UK and ways to shield yourself and family from the financial strain. They were really polite and thoughtful, genuinely tried to assist me a lot. Honestly, I reckon if folks stopped handing out their phone numbers in things like contests and surveys, they wouldn't get so many calls. I do take part in surveys myself and whenever I speak to these companies properly, they turn out to be really useful.

06/01/2016, a nice person calling about prepaid funeral plans. I said I wasn’t looking to sort that out any time soon, plus their timing was awful as my dad had just passed away not long ago. Then I just hung up on them.

They keep ringing me nonstop even though I'm on the TPS register and all that. One day alone they called me 19 times, with a bunch of other numbers as well. Now I just ignore my phone and only use 1471 to check who's calling. It’s got to the point where I have to tell my clients to contact me on my mobile instead!

At first, the person calling sounded quite courteous, but as we went on, he got really stubborn. When I explained that we'd checked out a few options and they weren't suitable, he claimed we must’ve looked at the incorrect plans. I politely said I wasn’t interested and appreciated the call anyway. However, he kept pushing, so eventually I warned him I’d hang up if he didn’t stop, and then I did. He seriously wouldn’t accept a simple no.

They keep ringing non stop, sometimes they just cut off, other times they won’t accept 'NO' as a reply. The whole survey stuff is getting really annoying. I've told them to take me off their calling list, but they just ignore it. So now, I’m thinking of keeping them on the line to rack up their phone charges - maybe that’ll make them stop. Maybe we should all try this for a while and see if it makes any difference.

This number rang earlier today, asking to speak to my husband. When I asked if it was about a sales call, the lady said it was something 'very important'. I told her we’re registered with TPS and that what she’s doing was illegal, but she brushed it off, saying my husband had supposedly agreed through some survey, like that makes it okay. I kept saying we don’t want marketing calls, but then she launched into a sales pitch about funeral plans. That really upset me because my dad passed away just last week, almost exactly a week ago, and it’s not something I’m ready to talk about. She tried to persuade me to let her call back next week but I firmly declined. She just kept going, so I firmed up and told her not to call again. Then she had the nerve to tell me I was being rude! I told her clearly I wasn’t and demanded no more calls before hanging up. I’ve reported them to TPS. Absolutely disgusting and totally heartless company.

Really pushy trying to sell a funeral plan, even after me saying loads of times I wasn’t interested or needed one. They kept going on, even when I said I’d end the call, so I had to hang up in the end. Feels like someone more vulnerable could easily get pressured by them.
