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.

What is the size of any upfront deposit required?

The price you will need to pay, if applicable, is set out in the funeral arrangement form together with details of the payment plan. Irrespective of the payment plan selected, we may ask you to pay all or 50% in advance, depending on your personal credit rating.

When must I pay the upfront deposit?

Any payments required in advance must be received in cleared funds three working days prior to the funeral.

How long will I have to pay the final balance?

Where credit is offered full payment must be received within 28 days of the funeral.

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

We accept cash, cheque, bank transfer and credit/debit cards.

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

If you do not pay the amounts you owe by the agreed payment date, we may charge you interest on the outstanding amounts at the rate of 2% per annum above the base rate of our bank. Interest will accrue on a daily basis and will be compounded at the end of each month until the date of payment, whether before or after judgment.

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

You may cancel the funeral (meaning you are cancelling the Contract) at any time without telling us the reason but we may have to charge you fees that we have already paid out on your behalf. Please refer to our Terms of Business for more information.
