Since January 2002 funeral plans have been subject to regulation under The Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 to ensure proper consumer protection for the security of customer’s money and delivery of the funeral in the future.
Our funeral plans are provided in association with a national funeral plan provider that has been accepted as a registered provider by the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA) the regulatory body for the sale and administration of funeral pre-payment plans in the UK.
All payments are made directly into the Trust. The accounts of the Trust are monitored annually by independent actuaries and checked by independent auditors. Payment for the funeral can only be withdrawn from the Trust once the service has been provided or the plan cancelled. All payments are made direct to the Trust whose assets are legally separate from the assets of the funeral planning company and Anderson Maguire.
