You may have heard recently in the media that funeral costs have been investigated by the Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) due to the differences in prices for what looks like the same services between different funeral directors and to make funeral costs more transparent to the consumer. The standardised pricelist is set out by the CMA and funeral directors are not free to change the wording or layout to suit their own style.

It has always been our mission, since starting the business, that we would hopefully, make it clear to the client what the costs are for the services we provide. When you arrange a funeral with us you will always receive a comprehensive estimate, whilst the estimate is just that, you will always be made aware of costs if you change the arrangements attracting a further cost or a reduction in the original estimate.

The CMA have enforced, by law, that all funeral directors must put their costs in a standardised price list advertised on their websites and displayed in their branches. The standardised price list can make price comparison between funeral directors very difficult for the client to understand. It goes without saying, we are more than happy to explain our prices and give quotes for other services, not on the standardised price list, with no obligation.
