Choosing a Funeral Director

How do you decide which funeral director to choose?

As a guide choose a funeral director who:

• you feel comfortable with – they are there to help, answer any questions you may have, give you expert guidance and make the whole process as straightforward as possible 

• has local knowledge of customs, byelaws and costs, such as crematoria fees, which can vary greatly throughout the country

• is a member of a trade association such as the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), as this will ensure they abide by their codes of practice and high standards

• will provide a breakdown of the costs involved so you know exactly what you are paying for with your specific prepaid funeral plan

• has funeral plans regulated by the Funeral Planning Authority (the FPA). The FPA exists to help protect consumers’ interests across the spectrum of the Funeral Planning sector within the UK.
