This document sets out our analysis and review of the Funerals market.
The review indicates that the introduction of transparency rules, part of the Competition and Market Authority (CMA)’s Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021 are having a constraining effect on funeral prices after many years of real-terms rises, meaning that costs paid by UK consumers for funeral services are likely to be lower as a result of the CMA’s intervention.
