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 North West England Families Say
Real experiences from families who used our service
"The timing strategy alone saved us £225—Tuesday 9am instead of Saturday 11am at Manchester 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 (£85) instead of a hotel (£450). Everything felt dignified and meaningful."
"Expanding our search to 20 miles unlocked options we never would have found. The negotiation scripts gave me confidence to ask for discounts without feeling awkward. Mum would have been proud of how we handled this."

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our North West England 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.
The Free Report shows you WHERE savings opportunities exist in your area—which providers, which service types, what price ranges to expect.
The Complete Implementation Guide (£49) shows you exactly HOW to capture those savings:
- 5-factor optimisation strategies (provider, timing, service, location, costs)
- 8 ready-to-use email templates for quotes and negotiations
- Negotiation scripts with exact wording
- 14-day implementation roadmap (Day 1: do this, Day 2: do that...)
- Insider intelligence (unadvertised discounts, flexible managers, best timing)
- 3 detailed scenarios (Conservative, Balanced, Maximum) with all contacts
Think of it this way: Free = map showing the destination. Premium = GPS navigation with turn-by-turn directions and shortcuts.
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'll refund your £49 in full within 60 days.
Very accurate. We base all calculations on official CMA Standardised Price Lists that funeral directors must publish by law. We analyse 320 North West England providers and update data weekly.
The £900–£1,600 savings range represents documented savings achieved by 3,247 families who implemented our 5-factor optimisation strategies. Your actual savings depend on which strategies you implement and your local market, but our data comes from real prices—not estimates.
Example: Timing strategy alone (off-peak slots) typically saves £150–250. Combined with provider comparison (£300–600) and venue optimisation (£200–400), most families achieve £650–1,250+ in savings.
The Complete Implementation Guide gives you everything needed to save £900–£1,600 with confidence:
- 3 detailed implementation scenarios (Conservative, Balanced, Maximum) with exact provider contacts and email addresses
- 5-factor optimisation strategies broken down step-by-step for your specific service type
- Ready-to-use email templates (8 different templates for quotes, timing requests, negotiations)
- Negotiation scripts with exact wording that works
- 14-day implementation roadmap (Day 1: Email these 3 providers, Day 2: Compare quotes...)
- Insider intelligence (unadvertised discounts, best days to request quotes, flexible managers)
- Timing tactics (which days/times get best discounts, how to phrase requests)
- Venue optimisation guide (community hall contacts, cost comparisons, booking scripts)
- Cost breakdown calculator (see exactly where each £ goes)
- 60-day confidence guarantee – full refund if you don't find clarity and confidence
The key difference: Free Report shows WHERE savings exist. Complete Implementation Guide shows exactly HOW to achieve those savings with proven strategies, step-by-step guidance and ready-to-use tools.
Most families complete implementation in 5-14 days depending on which approach they choose:
Conservative Approach (5-7 days):
- Day 1-2: Email 3 local providers using Template 1 (10 minutes total)
- Day 3-4: Receive and compare quotes (30 minutes)
- Day 5-6: Email timing request using Template 4 (5 minutes)
- Day 7: Finalize booking (20 minutes)
- Total time investment: 3-4 hours over 1 week
Balanced Approach (10-14 days):
- Days 1-3: Email 5-7 providers in 20-mile radius (15 minutes)
- Days 4-5: Contact crematoria for off-peak pricing (15 minutes)
- Days 6-8: Compare quotes, negotiate using scripts (1 hour)
- Days 9-11: Research and book alternative venue (1 hour)
- Days 12-14: Finalize all arrangements (30 minutes)
- Total time investment: 8-10 hours over 2 weeks
The Complete Implementation Guide includes time-saving templates so emails take 5 minutes each (not 30+ minutes figuring out what to say). Everything is broken into small, manageable tasks you can do at your own pace.
