Any that fail to be registered will be banned from trading \u2013 but until July 29<sup>th<\/sup>, 2022, when the regulations start anyone can offer the public funeral plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FCA name Empathy Funeral Plans UK Limited and Unique Funeral Plans as two firms to steer clear of. They said: \u201cWe have been clear for some time that people should avoid buying new plans from funeral plan providers that have not applied for authorisation or had their application withdrawn or refused. We are repeating this guidance and strongly advise that you do not buy a plan from Empathy (Empathy Funeral Plans UK Limited) or Unique (Fox Milton &amp; Co Limited, trading as Unique Funeral Plans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are nearly two million people who have taken out pre-paid funeral plans with some 65 companies paying on average around \u00a34,000 each in the UK with an estimated 200,000 new plans sold every year. It\u2019s a growing market but without regulation (declined by David Cameron\u2019s Government in 2000) it has become something of a free for all since anyone can set up a company offering so-called peace of mind plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 29 July, all funeral plan providers will need to follow new FCA rules, which include a ban on cold calling and commission paid to intermediaries, and high standards on governance and financial resilience. Funeral plan holders will be able to refer complaints about a firm to the Ombudsman and will be covered by the FSCS if their provider goes out of business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Shepperd, Executive Director of Authorisations at the FCA, said: \u201cAs this sector approaches regulation, we want to provide holders of pre-paid funeral plans with some reassurance, which is why we have published a list of the firms we intend to authorise. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur regulation will\u202flead to\u202fhigher standards in the market and boost consumer protection. We want to see an improvement in the way customers are treated, with better value products, better sales practices and better controls in place so consumers can be confident they will receive the funeral they expect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FCA are still looking at a small number of firms but in the meantime have published a list of companies that will abide by the rules from the 29th of July:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternative Planning Company Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avalon (Europe) Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avalon Trustee Company Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebration Of Life Planning Ltd &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central England Co-Operative Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-Op Funeral Plans Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Cremations Ltd &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dignity Funerals Limited &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distinct Funeral Plans Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F A Albin &amp; Sons Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family Funerals Trust Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freeman Brothers (this includes Peter Christopher Freeman and Bridgid Mary Freeman) &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden Charter Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden Leaves Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haven Personal Funeral Plans Ltd &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Independent Funeral Planning Services Ltd &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low Cost Funeral Limited T\/A Affordable Funerals (this includes Memoria Limited) &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peace Burials Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan With Grace Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pure Cremation Planning Ltd &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Southern Co-Operative Funerals Limited &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Independent Family Funeral Directors Ltd (this includes Fosters Family Funeral Directors) &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>William Alty &amp; Sons Limited&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Checkaco was created for consumers so that they can quickly access very detailed information about a company.
