Rise in Number of ‘Pauper’ Funerals
Media attention continues to focus on the rise in the number of ‘pauper’ funerals (ie those provided by the local council because families cannot afford them).
As prices of funerals soar, so the number of people facing financial difficulty to fund them rises.
As a company, we are committed to keeping the cost of funerals as low as possible. We do this by rejecting the corporate approach of upselling, and by focussing on the emotional benefit of a funeral.
“We don’t tell you what you need, we listen to what you want.”
Look out for our new, full page advert which is due to appear in The Hunts Post this week. It explains that funerals don’t have to be expensive, and encourages people to speak to several funeral directors before making their decision who to appoint.
We recently saved a client over £1500 simply because she shopped around.
