We have signed the 'Fair Funeral Pledge'. Buying a funeral can be expensive and confusing and the cost of dying has risen faster than the cost of living. When people are bereaved, they don't make savvy consumers and it's difficult to find clear, comparable information about costs.
Without knowing what their options are, people end up buying funerals they can’t afford and getting into unmanageable debt.
When funeral directors sign the Fair Funerals pledge (as we have), they are committing to:
1. recognise funerals can be expensive and that many people struggle with the cost
2. make our most affordable funeral package visible to the public, including third party costs.
3. charge clear prices for goods and services so people know what they're buying. Communicate prices in initial conversations and prominently display full price lists.
