RESIDENTS in Topsham are invited to attend an Age Concern funeral planning day.

The charity's shop, in Cowick Street, Exeter, is holding the planning day next Thursday, October 15, between 10am and 1pm.

With the average cost of a funeral predicted to rise by more than �1500 by 2015, Age Concern is offering people the change to take out a Guaranteed Funeral Plan.

A spokesperson for Age Concern said this enabled costs to be met in full, meaning less worry and financial strain for those involved.
