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.

Far from impressed on first visit. No compassion, no introductions, just seemed to be in a hurry to get through the business as quickly as possible. Little help in answering our questions when actually we found most of the answers on their website afterwards! Decided to go elsewhere where they were very courteous, caring and helpful.

Arrangements were quickly...

Lisa & Sarah were marvellous. The cup of tea they offered was needed when arranging something we were not expecting to do, nor had any idea what Dad wanted. Everything went smoothly and the Landrover they arranged to carry Dad in was brilliant. Thank you all.
