THE FUNERALS MARKET INVESTIGATION ORDER 2021
Following a legally binding order by the Competition and Markets Authority, funeral directors have to display in a clear and prominent manner a standardised price list in funeral home branches and online if they have a website or market their business online. All funeral directors have been required by law to comply with this since September 16, 2021.
To find a local funeral director, members of the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) can be found here and members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) can be found here.
Further information on the Government’s latest attendance rules for funerals can be found here.
Arranging a funeral
Arranging a funeral is something nobody wants to think about, but knowing where to start and what to do will make the process easier.
Choosing a funeral director
For many people, choosing a funeral director will be down to a matter of recommendation from family or friends. But in the age of the internet and social media, it’s worth doing some research.
The day of the funeral
Apart from travelling to the place of the funeral, what else happens on the day itself? There are a range of considerations to think about.
After the funeral
Following the funeral service, there are usually practical matters to take care of, in addition to the long-term wellbeing of those close to the person who has died.
Further information
There is a wealth of information about death and bereavement throughout the internet. Here are some useful links to organisations that provide a range of support services and advice.
