Partner with Funeral Directory

Help bereaved families in your area find trusted, NAFD-accredited funeral directors. Free, independent, and built around the people you serve.

Why this matters

When someone dies, families often turn to their local council for guidance. Where you point them matters.

Not all funeral directors are equal. Unvetted firms may not follow a code of practice, may lack transparent pricing, or may not meet the professional standards families deserve at their most vulnerable.

By partnering with Funeral Directory, you can give your residents a dedicated page with only vetted, NAFD-accredited funeral directors in their area — alongside clear, step-by-step guidance on what to do after a death.

It's free, independent, and takes the pressure off your bereavement services team.

What your residents get

A dedicated page for your area

Each council gets a branded local page with everything a bereaved family needs, written in clear, human language.

Vetted local funeral directors

Only NAFD-accredited directors appear — monitored for standards, transparent pricing, and professional care.

Step-by-step guidance

Clear guides on what to do after a death — registering, arranging a funeral, understanding costs, and what comes next.

Free cost tools

Independent funeral cost calculator and probate checker so families can plan without pressure or sales tactics.

Google-verified reviews

Real reviews from real families, pulled directly from Google — so residents can make informed choices with confidence.

Probate support

A free probate checker and access to specialist advice, so families know whether probate applies and what to do about it.

Written for real people

No jargon, no legalese. Every page is written in clear, compassionate language for people going through one of the hardest times of their lives.

Why vetting matters

Councils have a duty of care. Pointing bereaved residents to unvetted funeral directors carries real risks:

Hidden fees and unclear pricing that exploit grieving families

No code of practice or professional standards to fall back on

Poor care or complaints with no formal recourse

Reputational risk to the council if things go wrong

Every funeral director on our platform is an NAFD member — bound by a strict code of practice and regularly monitored. When you link to us, you're protecting your residents.
