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.

When must I pay the upfront deposit?

No upfront payment is required.

How long will I have to pay the final balance?

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

Deposit are not required. Accounts can be paid by cheque, card, cash, BACS (or by monthly instalments by arrangement).

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

If we are informed of the circumstances and agree to wait (i.e. for Probate to be granted and funds to be released) then no additional charges will be made.

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

You can exercise your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. We will only charge you for the following:- a) any Goods that are made to your specification and/or clearly personalised to the deceased as we would be unable to re-use them b) any Professional Services completed up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind

A very caring and respectful business. Professional throughout and a great support in what is a difficult time. More than played their part in the wonderful service for a much loved wife and beloved mum. Can't thank them enough. Many thanks to Karen and colleagues from George and Megan.

AG Down provided the service for my late Mother in law and were excellent from the very start. They handled everything with care, professionalism and with a very family centric approach. We couldn’t thank Darren, George and the rest of the team enough for their genuine heart felt empathy and care they extended to us all. Thank you.

This is my first experience of both a family funeral directors and a female funeral director and it was a whole different level of sensitivity and genuine kindness. Karen Hussey was a calming, reassuring guide supporting me throughout. No hard sell just help and kindness.

I had Karen Hussey advise and guide me on giving my Father in law a fitting tribute speech at his service and advice on local florists . I don't think the advice was included in the funeral plan . Karen was helpful at every communication or question I has. Even helping to get some small snippets of hair for us to keep .
