UK Funeral Support CIC is a 'Community Interest Company', which means that whatever we do is for the benefit of the community. Such companies are also more strictly regulated than a regular limited company and as a not-for-profit, our directors take no salary and all funds taken in payment for the types of funerals we provide are used to provide those services. In the event that the company makes a profit, this money is retained within the company and will be used towards achieving our long term goals. We stand by our guarantee to do our absolute utmost for families coming to us in need of assistance with planning a funeral. To this end, if we have a surplus of funds then we will help those most in need. In the long term it is our intention to purchase a plot of rural land (ideally a meadow) which we can turn into our own natural burial ground.
The cost of funerals rise year on year and it is through personal experience that we felt something needed to be done - far too often families are unable to give their loved ones the funeral they so deserve, so we decided to tackle the issue from the opposite side - rather than pay an excessive amount for a cremation or burial that last perhaps an hour or two, why not offer a simple unattended funeral option. This not only keeps costs down, but means that your loved one can be given the send-off they deserve in a way that is personal for you and relevant to them - perhaps book the church they attended, or a local hall to hold a celebration of their life. Maybe even book a crematorium chapel, but instead of having the coffin at the front, why not an urn holding their ashes, surrounded by their favourite flowers or personal items? Or in the case of a burial, perhaps instead of the coffin at the front of the church, why not a memory table, with items placed on it that were important to your loved one?
As such, our services give you a cost effective way of providing the funeral you want.
As a not-for-profit company, our prices are governed by the suppliers we use and, as such, are beyond our control. If we can absorb a cost that would usually be charged to the person booking the funeral, we will.
Having only two types of funeral - cremation or burial - and very few additions to that, makes our prices completely transparent and ensures that we are able to provide you with the best possible price for the service we provide.
Did you know that all Funeral Directors are obliged to have a Standardised Price List, making comparisons between companies easier for the customer. Ours can be found within our website (under the 'Standardised Price List' title). If anything with our structure seems unclear, please do not hesitate to make contact with us.
We specialise in direct unattended cremations and burials - the only funeral director in the United Kingdom to be able to do so - but we are also able to advise on other aspects of funeral arrangements.
Phone or email us, whichever you are most comfortable with, and let us help you when the need arises.
