Questions to ask Alec Butcher

  • Can I see your standardised price list? Every UK funeral director must publish one online and in the branch. Compare the “attended funeral” and “unattended funeral” totals.
  • What isn’t included? Crematorium or cemetery fees, the officiant, flowers and cars are often extra. Ask for an itemised written quote.
  • Who owns the business? Funeral directors must disclose their ultimate owner. Some group-owned branches keep a family name.
  • Are you a member of a trade body? For example the NAFD or SAIF — both have codes of practice and complaints schemes.
  • Can you meet our faith or cultural needs? Ask about washing facilities, urgent burials, viewing and repatriation if they matter to you.
  • Where will the person be cared for? Ask whether they have their own mortuary and chapel of rest, and whether you can visit.
