What is a CMA Standardised Price List?

Under the CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, every funeral director in the UK is legally required to publish a Standardised Price List showing the cost of an attended funeral, a direct cremation, and a breakdown of the funeral director's professional fees, transport, care of the deceased, coffin, and third-party disbursement charges. Because the format is fixed by the CMA, like-for-like comparison is reliable for the first time.

Useful funeral cost guides

What goes into a funeral cost in Greater London?

A funeral in the UK has two parts: the funeral director’s charges (their professional fee, the coffin, the hearse, and the care of the deceased), and third-party fees known as disbursements (cremation or burial fees, doctors’ fees, and any clergy or celebrant fees). The prices shown above cover only the funeral director’s charges, drawn from each provider’s published CMA Standardised Price List.

A direct cremation is an unattended cremation with no service. It is the simplest, lower-cost option offered by every UK funeral director under the CMA Order. An attended funeral includes a service at a crematorium or place of worship.
