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.

David along with all the other staff at Darwen Funeral Services were amazingly thoughtful and caring with every detail of my dads funeral in November 2019. My sisters, my daughter and myself will be forever grateful for making a traumatic event in our family bearable on the day. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again.

Darwen Funeral Services is a family run business rather than corporate. They provide a personal touch that others do not, making the process more intimate and a feeling of exclusivity. Dignity and professionalism from start to finish.
