About The Funeral

About the Funeral is for you if you are making funeral arrangements now in the UK or planning ahead. We compare packaged and tailored funeral director services and pre-paid funeral plans instantly by price, customer ratings and more, to help you find an affordable funeral from a service provider that's right for you. About the Funeral is for you if you are a funeral director or provider of pre-paid funeral plans. Unlike other comparison sites we accept listings from all funeral company types. Our impartiality and independence means we have the widest possible reach to get your business seen. Whilst we help you to instantly and accurately quote each time there's an enquiry in the areas you serve, we want the families who use our service to make good choices and that aren't based on price alone. We know the huge value families place on using a funeral director they can trust to take care of their loved one. That's why we believe it's equally important to show genuine online reviews from the families you have served. I'm Kim Bird, founder of About the Funeral. Having direct experience of familial suicide, and working in the funeral industry as an arranger and bereavement support volunteer, anyone involved with About the Funeral is very clear on why we do what we do. We want people to have a good funeral, with or without the services of a funeral director. To have a good funeral people need to know their options and who can help them on this very important day. Finding the right funeral director can make all the difference. We just bring everyone together. How do we make our money? And unlike other funeral comparison companies who charge funeral directors 10% commission, we charge funeral directors a small monthly subscription fee from £35. Funeral directors also have the option to pay a fixed fee for introducing a family that engages them to carry out the funeral. We prefer the subscription model. It's ethical. We accept a fixed fee for plan sales.
