CMA’s Funerals Market Order published
The NAFD warmly welcomes the publication of the Funerals Market Order today (16 June 2021).
Said Chief Executive Jon Levett: “Although many funeral firms do publish pricing information online, some don’t and there is a wide range of formats used which can be confusing for bereaved consumers at a difficult time. The CMA’s requirements, although extremely complex in places for small businesses to navigate, support the delivery of high standards to funeral consumers and bring consistency to the process of choosing a funeral director.
“The NAFD will support funeral firms over the summer to ensure they have all the information they need to comply – and provide feedback to the CMA on these new processes, enabling them to refine them, over time, to ensure they assist bereaved people in making informed choices, and promote healthy competition in the funeral sector.”
