How are funeral directors assigned to a council area?
Funeral directors are assigned to a local authority by their registered postcode's official administrative district code (ONS PCD), not by a radius around a town centre. This means every provider is counted in exactly one council area, matching how local authorities themselves report population and statistics.
What is a CMA Standardised Price List?
Under the CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, every funeral director in the UK must publish a Standardised Price List showing the price of an attended funeral and, where offered, a direct (unattended) cremation, with 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.
How this page is calculated
Funeral directors are matched to Newham using their postcode’s official local authority district code, then prices are taken from the latest captured CMA Standardised Price List for each provider. Medians are only shown where there are at least three valid prices for that service.
These figures usually cover funeral director charges only. Third-party costs such as crematorium fees, burial plots, celebrants and cemetery charges are not included; captured crematorium fees are shown above with their source and capture month.
