Why This Matters
Knowing a crematorium costs £745 doesn't help if you don't know which day to request (Tuesday saves £320), what to say (our script works 73% of the time), or which 3 providers to compare first (we tell you exactly which ones).
That's the difference between information and implementation.

What UK Families Say About Our Service
Real experiences from families across the UK who used our compassionate guidance
"The timing strategy alone saved us £320—Tuesday 9am instead of Saturday 11am at the same crematorium. The 14-day roadmap made everything clear and manageable during such a difficult time."
"The email templates made requesting quotes so much easier—I didn't have to figure out what to say. The venue optimisation guide showed us a beautiful community hall (£90) instead of a hotel (£550). Everything felt dignified and meaningful."
"Having clear information removed so much uncertainty when we were grieving. We felt supported throughout the process, knowing we were making the right choices for Dad's service."

Essential Questions
Quick answers about our information service
No, we are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We provide general price information and analytical support only—we do not offer financial advice, funeral planning services, or any regulated activities. All decisions regarding funeral arrangements remain entirely yours. For personalised support, we recommend consulting with qualified professionals such as solicitors or financial advisers.
Absolutely not. We maintain complete independence and receive no commissions, referral fees, or payments of any kind from funeral directors, crematoria, or any service providers. Our sole revenue comes from the optional £49 premium reports. This independence ensures our information remains unbiased and focused solely on helping families explore their options.
We display actual current prices taken directly from funeral directors' official government-mandated price lists and crematorium published fee schedules—not just estimated ranges. We refresh our database regularly with weekly updates from official sources. However, providers may not always update their online catalogues promptly when prices change. This is precisely why we recommend confirming details: the prices we show are accurate to the published data at the time of collection, but you should always contact providers directly to confirm current costs before making any commitments.
No, we provide educational information based on publicly available data. We do not offer financial, legal, or funeral planning advice.
Our complimentary guide provides general information about options in your area. The detailed guidance includes specific provider contacts, conversation templates, and ongoing email support for families who want more comprehensive information.
We do not guarantee financial outcomes. We provide information to help you understand different options available. If our detailed guidance doesn't help you better understand your choices, we offer a full refund within 60 days.
