We've published a summary of feedback received on our #Standards & #Regulation paper. Respondents supported the proposal to set up an independent body to regulate #funeral directing - with broad support for it to be mandatory, risk-based & outcome focused. https://t.co/rZF1b0S0Yj

#Consumers aren't always equipped with the info they need to ensure they can obtain the #funeral services they need at a fair price. Share your views on how funeral firms should communicate details of services & prices, in our #transparency consultation:

Encouraging to see how extensively @CMAgov working papers refer to the @FSCSReview's work. Underlines importance of participating in this consultation. Grab a cuppa, it’s comprehensive & will take time to complete – but it’s a valuable use of that time. https://t.co/ehi5o42pVg
