Being an Independent Family Funeral Directors we often look at our competitors to see how we compare. We want to make sure our families are getting value for money at what is a very difficult time and sometimes very unexpected.
You no doubt see a large amount of marketing/advertising from a very well known Direct Cremation company that are nationwide who claim to be affordable, very often claiming to be the cheapest in the market.
I have just done an online quote on their latest advert, claiming if you take it before the end of the month they will give you £100 off and a voucher for £50 for an afternoon tea experience. Wow why wouldn't you, we all like an afternoon tea.
However when it is still £500 dearer than us and dearer than most independent funeral directors, I can't understand why people still do it.
See the chart that I've included with comparisons in service and then make your informed decision for yourself.
Always talk to your local independent family funeral director before talking to a national company particularly online because you will be amazed at the difference in service on offer.
