4. Register of material payments
Register status as at 25 September 2026: No material payments were required to be entered in the register for the preceding 12 months.
For this register, a material payment is an individual payment, or cumulative payments to the same third party, of £250 or more in any 12-month period. It covers relevant charitable donations, charitable contributions, gratuities and other payments that are not for a cost incurred or service provided to the funeral director, where the third party is connected to the funerals sector or may influence a customer’s choice of funeral director.
The website register covers relevant payments made by or on behalf of either company and all branches. Customer donations collected and passed on for a chosen charity are not payments made by the funeral director and are not included in this register.
5. Review and updates
- Next scheduled register update
- First working day of October 2026
The material-payments register is reviewed and updated on the first working day of April and October to cover the preceding 12 months. Any change to ultimate ownership or to a relevant price-comparison website interest will be reflected in the branch and website disclosure within 15 working days.
