There is discount for young members.

Rules of the synagogue do not allow membership of the burial society alone.  Membership of the synagogue without membership of the burial fund is allowed on condition that the cost of family member burials is covered, for example, by burial society membership of another synagogue or purchase of an assurance policy for funerals.

If members cannot afford the above membership rates, then discounts can be arranged.  A committee of three Almoners considers applications for discounts based on information provided on an application form.

The synagogue claims Gift Aid on donations for membership fees and other donations to the synagogue, but not on Burial fee donations.  If you would like to have Gift Aid recovered on your donations to the synagogue, then please download the Gift Aid form, complete the details and post back to me at P O Box 215, Luton LU1 9ZJ.
