Quaker Social Action have relaunched the Fair Funerals pledge amid concerns at the scale of price rises and the behaviour of some funeral directors
Funeral directors across the UK have committed to providing transparent pricing by signing a pledge organised by Quaker Social Action (QSA). The Fair Funerals pledge was relaunched by QSA amid ongoing concerns at the scale of price rises and the behaviour of some funeral directors, with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) currently conducting a full-scale inquiry.
Last year, the CMA accused some funeral directors of taking advantage by charging high prices at a time when customers were vulnerable. It said the reluctance of firms to disclose clear prices, including online, and to provide comprehensive information on the quality and range of services, made it hard for people to compare funeral directors. The CMA has since reported that half of the funeral director websites they audited did not contain price information.
