Frequently asked questions
Is Funerals Direct free to use?
Yes. Funerals Direct is free for families. We receive a listing fee from funeral directors. That fee keeps the service free for families searching.
How do you verify directors?
Every listing is reviewed by our editorial team. We check business registration, address, and publicly listed services before publishing. We also moderate reviews.
Can I compare multiple directors?
Yes. On search results, tick "Select" on up to three directors. A comparison tray appears at the bottom. Click "Get free quotes" to send one enquiry to all three.
What if I need help urgently?
Most funeral directors offer 24/7 phone support for immediate need. For grief support, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14.
How do reviews work?
Reviews come from families who have used the funeral director. Every review is checked by our editorial team before publishing.
