Nobody shops for this. They search for it once, and they need it to be clear.
Most families have no relationship with a funeral director until they need one. They search for the town, look at the map, and choose on three things: whether the firm feels trustworthy, whether it is nearby and whether the prices are clear. Websites written as brochures, with no prices and a form instead of a telephone number, fail that family at 3am.
The rules now require funeral directors to publish a standardised price list, including online. Done well, that is not a burden; it is the reason a family chooses you over a firm that hides its prices.

What makes the difference
Where the work goes first.
What we would usually put right for funeral directors, in order.
01
A profile that is open all hours
The right category, a 24-hour number that is genuinely answered and photographs of the premises and the people.
02
The price list, prominently
The standardised price list and additional options list, easy to find and easy to read on a phone. It is required, and it is what families look for.
03
Pages for the kinds of funeral
Traditional, simple, direct cremation, religious and non-religious services, each explained plainly with what it includes.
04
The people and the premises
Families want to know who they will meet. Photographs of the team and the chapel of rest, with names.
05
Reviews, asked for gently
Families often want to say thank you. A note some weeks later, with a link, is appropriate and respected.
06
A website that is calm
Large type, few choices, the telephone number everywhere. Nothing that moves, flashes or asks for an email address.
Rules worth stating. Under the Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, funeral directors must display a standardised price list and an additional options price list, including on their website. Pre-paid funeral plans are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and may only be sold by authorised firms, with the appropriate wording.

Questions
Funeral directors: straight answers.
Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.
Is it appropriate to do marketing for a funeral business?
Being easy to find and clear about prices is not marketing in the sense people worry about; it is a service to families who do not know where to turn. We keep the tone to match.
Should we put prices on the website?
You must, under the rules that came into force in 2021. The question is only how clearly, and clearly is better for everyone.
How do we ask for reviews without being insensitive?
A written note some weeks after the funeral, thanking the family and mentioning that a review helps other families find you. Many are glad to.
We serve several towns. Do we need a page for each?
A page for each branch, certainly. For towns without a branch, a page is worth having only if you genuinely serve families there and can say something true about it.
