A father from Newton Heath fears he is set to lose £2,800 he paid into a funeral plan after the company went bust.
Mark McCluney, a 51-year-old property developer and landlord, is preparing to move to the Philippines with his partner and wanted to make sure his 22-year-old son Christopher would not have to handle things alone when he eventually passes away.
He has paid into Safe Hands Funeral Plans, who are believed to have left around 45,000 customers in limbo. Administrators FRP said they were appointed to Safe Hands Funeral Plans, after the company went bust following "a period of severe financial challenge which has left the business unsustainable in its current form."
