Funeral Partners welcome the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) announcement
From 29th July 2022, all Funeral Plans in the UK are regulated by the FCA. We believe this will give customers even more confidence and transparency when they purchase a Choice Funeral Plan, as well as the reassurance that money invested in our plans is protected. For security of our Funeral Plan funds, we work only with UK-based life assurance companies who are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and regulated by the FCA and the PRA.
We would like to assure all our existing clients who have purchased a Choice Funeral Plan via our Funeral Partners network or approved partner, prior to the 29th July, your plan is safe and you do not need to take any action. If you have any questions, please contact info@choiceplan.co.uk
To plan your funeral your way and for more information on our Funeral Plans, speak to one our friendly team in branch or at Choice choiceplan.co.uk.
Funeral Partners are the third largest provider of funeral services in the UK with over 230 funeral homes, 130 brands across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and we continue to grow. Our pre-paid Funeral Plan is called Choice, and all Choice funeral plans are provided by the Alternative Planning Company Limited (APCL), which is now authorised and regulated by the FCA with firm reference number 965282. APCL is part of the Funeral Partners Group.
