Our advice is to check that the company is reputable, for example, whether they are part of any trade associations.

Our basic price is suitable for a single business. We also offer a package for businesses with multiple listings. If you are a larger group and need a more 'Enterprise' level of access we can help with that. Contact us through the contact page and we will discuss a custom package to cover your requirements.
No. We would love to offer a free listing but we don't at this time.
Why not?
We don't offer a free listing as there is little value in the basic information. Funeral Directions is in place to offer the maximum value for end users but with the more information added for a business listing the more storage and cost it take to run. Free listings do not give the best information or showcase companies in the best way. We want that to happen and be the best for end users and businesses alike.
Our aim for Funeral Directions is to offer a simple service for the end user making a difficult time, easier. The elements we are offering for users and businesses offer great value for both sides. The key part of the site is information. For this reason we have ensured that the cost to businesses is the lowest it can be, the low cost means that just one purchase from Funeral Directions will pay for itself for one month, in many cases one purchase can cover the annual cost. This benefits you as well as the end user.
In the UK the average mortality rate is around 10,000 per week. Funeral Directions allows those dealing with death the ability to directly connect with businesses to help during this process.
You can find out more on our Pricing page. Our current starting price is £5.99 per month. We also offer a package for multiple sites or can offer an Enterprise package if required.
It is up to you. Our directory shows the businesses in a local region. The packages start with single business location in mind. You could add your multiple locations within your listing but they will not show up in those locations. If you have multiple locations, we suggest a listing for each one so that they show up regionally depending on the search criteria.
