About UK Funeral Quotes

UK Funeral Quotes is a free, no-obligation quote comparison service helping people across the United Kingdom plan ahead with confidence. Whether you are comparing prepaid funeral plans or searching for the right care home for a loved one, our service is designed to give you clear, honest information and put you in touch with trusted, regulated providers.

What We Do

We are an introducer and quote comparison service. We do not provide funeral services, funeral plans, or care home placements ourselves. Instead:

• We help you compare prepaid funeral plans from FCA-regulated providers
• We help you find and evaluate care homes across the UK
• We pass your enquiry to a regulated provider who will contact you to discuss your options

Our service is completely free to use and carries no obligation. You are under no pressure to proceed with any provider we introduce you to.

What We Are Not

• We are not a funeral provider and do not conduct or arrange funerals directly
• We are not a care home operator and do not provide care services
• We are not a financial adviser and do not give regulated financial advice
• We do not sell funeral plans or insurance products

Prepaid funeral plans are provided by third-party funeral plan providers regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Care homes are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, and equivalent bodies in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

FCA Regulation

Prepaid funeral plans in the UK are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Since 29 July 2022, all firms selling funeral plans must be FCA-authorised. This means:

• Your money is held in a secure trust or insurance arrangement
• You have access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if your provider fails
• You can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service if something goes wrong

We only introduce you to FCA-regulated funeral plan providers. Always verify a provider’s regulatory status on the FCA register before purchasing a plan.
