## Funeral planning guides

- [Direct cremation or burial: how to choose](https://funeralcompare.fyi/guides/direct-cremation-vs-burial.md): Direct cremation means cremation with no service and no viewing, while burial means a coffin placed in a grave; the right choice comes down to faith, family wishes and what each local provider actually offers.
- [Funeral fees in the United Kingdom](https://funeralcompare.fyi/guides/funeral-fees-in-the-united-kingdom.md): Since September 2021 UK funeral directors must publish a standardised fee list on their website and in their branch, so you can compare the same headings across providers.
- [Funeral fees in the United States](https://funeralcompare.fyi/guides/funeral-fees-in-the-united-states.md): The FTC Funeral Rule gives you the right to an itemised General Price List to keep when you visit a funeral home, fee information by phone, and the right to buy only the goods and services you want.
- [How to compare funeral providers](https://funeralcompare.fyi/guides/how-to-compare-funeral-providers.md): Ask every provider for the same four things — its written fee list, what is included, what is not, and who does the work — then compare the answers line by line.
- [Paying for a funeral in advance](https://funeralcompare.fyi/guides/paying-for-a-funeral-in-advance.md): Paying in advance can fix today's figure for the director's own services, but third-party payments and the safety of your money depend on the plan type and the country you are in.
- [What a funeral fee list shows](https://funeralcompare.fyi/guides/what-a-funeral-fee-list-shows.md): A good funeral fee list shows each item on its own line with a figure next to it, separates the director's own fees from third-party payments, and names what is not included.

## Questions

### Who is listed on FuneralCompare?

Funeral homes and cremation providers mapped in OpenStreetMap, which is open data. A listing shows the mapped name, address and phone number. It is not a recommendation, and it does not mean the provider meets any particular standard.

### Where do the fee figures come from?

Only from a fee list the provider itself publishes, linked on the listing, or from an open dataset with a licence. FuneralCompare never invents a fee. Most listings show no fee yet; when a provider claims its listing it can add its figures.

### How do I report a mistake?

Write to hello@funeralcompare.fyi with the listing name, the city and what is wrong. An editor checks it against the source and corrects the listing.

> **Not financial advice.** FuneralCompare lists funeral homes and cremation providers and the fee information they publish. It is not financial, legal or medical advice, and a listing is not a recommendation. Addresses, phone numbers and fee figures come from the sources named on each listing and were last checked on the date shown there; fees change, so confirm every figure with the provider before you decide. To report a mistake, write to hello@funeralcompare.fyi.
