In September 2021 the funeral profession began the process of regulation from the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) to ensure all funeral directors have a transparent and visible pricing structure. The Standardised Pricelist is a set structure of services which allows families to directly compare funeral directors and make an informed choice.
Please do remember this is only a cost comparison and not a comparison of the service you receive. The best way to compare this side of funeral directors we suggest reading reviews from previous families.
