Attended Funeral

The aim of the Competition and Markets Authority Funeral Markets Order 2021 is to make it easier for customers to access the prices of funeral directors and crematorium operators and to help increase customers’ awareness of the total cost of the services they may require.

These provisions are also intended to help customers to compare the prices and services of different funeral directors and crematorium operators so that they can assess what best suits their needs and budget.

The criteria for the Attended Funeral:

Taking care of all necessary legal and administrative arrangements.
Collecting and transporting the deceased person from the place of death (normally within 15 miles of the funeral director’s premises) into the funeral director’s care.
Care of the deceased person before the funeral in appropriate facilities.
Providing a suitable coffin.
Viewing of the deceased person for family and friends, by appointment with the Funeral Director.
Provision of a hearse or other appropriate vehicle to take the deceased person direct to the agreed cemetery or crematorium (normally within 20 miles of the funeral director’s premises) at a date and time agreed between the customer and funeral director.

This varies depending on the services required. For most of our services the deposit is equal to the disbursement (third party) costs of the funeral arrangements with the exception of unattended and simple funerals.

When must I pay the upfront deposit?

The deposit must be received at least 3 working days in advance of the funeral date e.g deposit is due on Thursday for a funeral on Tuesday.

How long will I have to pay the final balance?

We would normally issue the final account a week after the funeral date and require full payment within 30 days of the date of account.

What are my options for paying the deposit and final balance?

We accept payment by cash, cheque, debit or credit card (with the exception of American Express or reward credit cards) and bank transfer.

Will any additional charges apply is I don’t pay the bill on time?

We may charge interest if the account is not settled within the 30 day payment term.

If I change my mind after engaging you as my funeral director, will you charge me (and if so, how much)?

If you have instructed us to commence work and wish to cancel within 14 days of the date of signing our agreement, we will ask you to pay the fees and charges associated with any service or goods provided in that period.

I can't fault any part of the service they provided in the funeral arrangements for my Mother. They guided us in areas where we needed advice and made suggestions that were appropriate and even made some late adjustments. During the ceremony they were discrete but available to guide and direct when necessary. No hesitation in recommending them.
