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.

Recently used E A Gilman to arrange a close family friends funeral. With little experience of planning a funeral, the staff at E A Gilman and in particular Estrella from the Balham branch were ever so helpful and patient with our ever changing needs. This was a very stressful time for our family with many challenges and moving pieces but Estrell...

My family used the Balham branch. I cannot think of any way in which they could have been more accommodating and understanding of our needs in an extremely difficult time for us. Bella was incredible; she approaches her role with a genuine care and compassion.
