Did you see National Association of Funeral Directors CEO Andrew Judd on Channel 5 News at 5?
Andrew recently appeared on the programme discussing the growing concern around the rising cost of dying, following new reports that show funeral costs increasing alongside the cost of living.
His message was clear — choosing a reputable funeral director and fully understanding the different types of funerals available is more important than ever, so families can make informed choices that feel right for them and for those they have lost.
