Funeral Experts

Funeral Experts Free, impartial & compassionate support. Need to arrange a loved one's funeral? We could save you hundreds of £s.

We explain funeral options, help you find a funeral director within budget, and assist with financial and bereavement matters, helping you make informed choices and save money where possible during difficult times. Funeral Experts enables the bereaved to compare cemeteries/crematoria and funeral directors based on their location, budget, and type of funeral. Unlike other funeral director compariso

n sites, we are 100% independent of the industry and 100% free, with no sponsored listings or favoured status for individual funeral directors. You choose where, when, and how much, and we present the matching funeral directors and available locations.

🌟One Call, Real Change: Helping After the Loss of a Loved One

This morning, we supported a woman who had recently lost her husband and was facing significant financial uncertainty. Through a detailed benefits check, we:

✔️ Submitted a Pension Credit claim worth £141.47/week
✔️ Identified entitlement to Council Tax Reduction and Single Occupancy Discount, meaning she’ll no longer need to pay council tax
✔️ Flagged eligibility for Attendance Allowance
✔️ And critically, enabled a Funeral Expenses Payment claim, now possible thanks to the Pension Credit application

💬 This kind of support doesn’t just ease financial pressure, it brings clarity and peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time.

Every person matters. Every action counts. We're here when people need us most.

We are proud to partner with Child Bereavement UK, who help families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. The charity supports children and young people (up to the age of 25) when someone important to them has died or is not expected to live, and parents and the wider family when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying.

Pregnancy loss and grief support
At Funeral Experts, we recognise that every loss matters, no matter how early it happens.

Whether you're grieving a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or a loss following IVF treatment, your experience is valid, and you deserve care and time to heal.
The government has proposed extending statutory bereavement leave to cover pregnancy loss before 24 weeks.

This is not yet the law, but it reflects growing recognition of how deeply such losses affect lives. While policy catches up, our support is already here.

Our bereavement support officers are available to offer compassionate, confidential help to anyone affected by pregnancy loss, no matter the timing or circumstances.
If you or someone you love needs support, please reach out to us on 0800 086 8887.

💙 Today has been a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

We've supported multiple individuals navigating bereavement, helping them find next of kin, connect with a funeral director, claim benefits including the Funeral Expenses Payment, Bereavement Support Payment, Council Tax Reduction, and more. In one case, we also supported someone with overlapping benefits and explored whether deferring the State Pension would be the right choice.

At a time when everything can feel overwhelming, we are here to make things clearer, calmer and more manageable.

💙 We’re not just supporting the bereaved; we’re helping to set a new national standard for how people are treated in the workplace and during their most vulnerable moments.

Last week, our founder Jason Ghous joined Mayor Steve Rotheram and amazing local employers at Mann Island to celebrate those making real change.

The Charter sets out four clear promises:
✅ A Healthy workplace – protecting wellbeing
✅ Fair pay and good work conditions
✅ Inclusive hiring for all backgrounds
✅ A Just culture where every voice is heard

At Funeral Experts, these values are at the heart of everything we do. Our own RESCU principles guide us every day:

💠 Respectful – We honour every belief and farewell with sincerity.
💠 Empowering – We give you clear info to make the right decisions.
💠 Safe – Our team is trained, vetted, and privacy always comes first
💠 Compassionate – This isn’t just practical help. It’s emotional support too.
💠 Unbiased – No upselling, no pressure. Just honest advice.

Jason said it best:
“This has got to be the benchmark for how we treat people — inside our teams and out in the world.”

💬 If you or someone you know is navigating loss, we’re here — free, expert, and always on your side.

Winter Fuel Payment: Update for Pensioners

At Funeral Experts, many families have been asking us about Winter Fuel Payments, especially when reviewing income and expenditure following the loss of a loved one. We know how important it is to have clear, reliable information when managing your finances during such a sensitive time.

Here’s the latest government update:
This winter, everyone over State Pension age in England and Wales with an income of £35,000 or less will automatically receive a Winter Fuel Payment.

£200 per household, or
£300 per household where someone is aged over 80

No action is needed – eligible pensioners will receive the payment automatically.
For those with an income above £35,000, the payment will still be made but automatically recovered via HMRC. There will also be an option to opt out.

🔗 Read the full press release from the Department for Work and Pensions:
https://news.dwp.gov.uk/dwplz/lz.aspx?p1=MJ6DU4NTk4MjFTODk0NDo1NTE0REQ0REYzOTFFNUU2NkU4RUM5NjFCN0NDQkM5MA%3d%3d-&CC=&w=81318

🚫 Important Reminder: If you receive a text message asking you to claim your Winter Fuel Payment, it is almost certainly a scam. These payments are made automatically, and you do not need to do anything unless you wish to opt out.
If you're unsure about your eligibility or need support after a bereavement, our team is here to help.

🤝 Loneliness Awareness Week 2025 — Meeting Loneliness Together

“After they died, the hardest part wasn’t the funeral, it was coming home to an empty house and no one to talk to.”

Loneliness doesn’t always show up straight away. It can settle in once the arrangements are done, the calls stop, and life seems to carry on for everyone else.

We often hear from people who say this is the hardest part, the quiet after, when everything’s finished and they’re suddenly alone.

At Funeral Experts, we’re here to support you through that part of grief. We offer practical help, emotional support, and can connect you to local services that make things feel a little less heavy.

This , we’re joining the call to talk more openly about loneliness and to remind people they don’t have to face it alone.

💬 You can reach us on 0800 086 8887 or visit funeralexperts.com for free, personalised support.

👉 You can also find activities or events near you at events.lonelinessawarenessweek.org

Let’s meet loneliness together.

🧠 Men’s Health Week 2025 — Breaking the Silence

“I didn’t cry. I sorted the funeral, cleared the house, made sure everyone else was okay, then went back to work like nothing had happened.”

Too often, men facing grief after a death feel pressure to stay silent, strong, and self-sufficient.

But silence in grief doesn’t mean strength. It can mean isolation, anxiety, or mental ill-health.

At Funeral Experts, we support men at the end of life and after a death, with space to talk, practical help to reduce pressure, and emotional support when things feel overwhelming.

This , we want to support breaking the stigma around men’s mental health, especially in grief.

Let’s start the conversation.

Carers Week 2025 — Caring About Equality

“I was their carer, advocate, anchor, then suddenly, I was no one.”

When caring ends, whether expected or sudden, many unpaid carers are left facing not only grief, but a loss of identity, recognition, and practical support.

At Funeral Experts, we support carers at end of life and after a death, helping them navigate grief, understand what comes next, and reconnect with who they are and what they need going forward.

From understanding funeral options to benefits advice, housing, emotional support and much more, we offer free, compassionate advice and support every step of the way.

This , we join the call to create a fairer, more equal society for unpaid carers, in life, in loss, and beyond.

Because when the caring stops, the need for care continues.

Don't hesitate to contact us on 0800 086 8887 or visit funeralexperts.com for free, personalised support.

We’re honoured to be partnering with Sudden Sam a brilliant organisation standing beside families through the shock of sudden loss.

Together, we’ll make sure those hit by sudden bereavement get fast, compassionate, and clear support. Whether that’s funeral planning, legal guidance, or simply knowing where to turn next.

In the face of sudden grief, it takes community and collaboration to stand strong.

That’s why we’re proud to announce our new partnership with FuneralExperts.com – a platform offering expert, honest guidance on everything from planning a funeral to understanding legal rights and costs.

Together, we’ll:
• Refer and signpost families seamlessly between our two organisations
• Collaborate on campaigns that raise awareness of grief and funeral planning
• Provide clearer, joined-up support at a time when families need it most

At Funeral Experts, we regularly support individuals and families who, following a loss, feel disconnected from others or struggle to rebuild their support networks. Grief can be profoundly isolating, even when you're not physically alone.

That’s why all staff at Funeral Experts have taken, or will be taking, the ZSA Social Isolation and Loneliness Training. Created by the Zero Su***de Alliance in partnership with the NHS, this free, practical training helps build understanding and confidence to support those who may be silently struggling.

If you're working with bereaved people or want to raise awareness and be there for those around you, I encourage you to take the training too:

Together, we can help reduce loneliness and offer support when it’s needed most.
