Customers will be offered the option to pay with BitCoin on the payment pagre on the Pride Planning website.

Mike Noblett, CEO at Pride Planning, said: “We are living in a digital age with new digital currencies and ways to pay.

“We want to be innovators in funeral planning and ways to pay – BitCoin is a fast and secure payment method with an ever accelerating value.”

Pride Planning, based in Stockport town centre, recently announced a turnover of £2.6m in their second year and are on track for £6-7m for 2017/18.

It offers a variety of pre-planned funeral packages and payment plans.

Co-owner Adam Deering added: “Planning a funeral can be a particularly difficult time – we aim to take away the stress by assisting every step of the way.

“Pride Planning has a variety of prepaid funeral plans available which vary in price based on requirements and budget.”

Customers also benefit from the Pride Discount Club and can get money-off offers from a number of retailers including Apple, Sainsbury’s and Marks and Spencer.
