Redefining the digital experience for funeral planning

Golden Charter

Challenge

Golden Charter, one of the UK’s leading funeral plan providers, needed to modernise its digital presence to reflect the sensitivity of its product while delivering a seamless, compliant, and high-performing customer experience. The legacy site caused friction in the quote and buy journey, lacked personalisation, and made integration with back-office systems complex and costly.
