The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 74 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): The FCA Register's authorised funeral plan providers joined to each provider's own published plan tiers, giving a board nobody publishes: price per tier, what the tier includes against a fixed checklist (collection hours, coffin, hearse, attended or unattended, ashes return, third-party allowance and whether it is CPI-linked or capped), the TRUE cost of paying monthly (the instalment charge as an APR-equivalent, which is where a GBP 1,799 plan becomes GBP 2,400), the cancellation fee, and the gap between the plan price and the same provider's at-need price from dataset 1 - the single figure that answers whether a plan is worth it. Plus the count authorised, the count publishing a price versus quote-only, and repriced-since. A firm selling plans that is NOT on the Register is published as the warning it is. ## Sources - [FCA: funeral plans, check your provider is authorised](https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/funeral-plans-check-provider-authorised) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [FCA: regulating the funeral plans sector](https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/regulating-funeral-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [FCA press release: funeral plan providers likely to be authorised](https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/fca-announces-funeral-plan-providers-likely-be-authorised) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Golden Charter pre-paid funeral plans](https://www.goldencharter.co.uk/funeral-plans/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Co-op Funeralcare compare our plans](https://www.coop.co.uk/funeralcare/funeral-plans/compare-our-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Co-op Funeralcare direct cremation plan](https://www.coop.co.uk/funeralcare/funeral-plans/direct-cremation-plan) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Dignity funeral plan costs](https://www.dignityfunerals.co.uk/funeral-plans/advice/funeral-plan-costs/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Golden Leaves prepaid funeral plans](https://www.goldenleaves.com/funeral-plans/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Avalon Funeral Plans standard plan](https://avalonfuneralplans.com/uk-funeral-plans/standard-funeral-plan/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Avalon Funeral Plans premium plan](https://avalonfuneralplans.com/uk-funeral-plans/premium-funeral-plan/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Ecclesiastical Planning Services funeral plans](https://www.funeralplans.co.uk/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Ecclesiastical Planning Services church funeral planning](https://www.ecclesiastical.com/church/funeral-planning/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Crystal Funeral Planning prepaid plans](https://www.crystalfuneralplanning.co.uk/funeral-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Simplicity funeral plans](https://www.simplicity.co.uk/funeral-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Farewill funeral plans](https://farewill.com/funerals/funeral-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Distinct Cremations buy a funeral plan](https://www.distinctcremations.co.uk/funeral-plans/buy-a-funeral-plan/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Aura prepaid funeral plans](https://aura.life/funerals/funeral-plan) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Open Prepaid Funerals plans](https://www.openprepaidfunerals.co.uk/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Southern Co-op funeral plans](https://funeralplans.coop/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Pure Cremation funeral plans](https://www.purecremation.co.uk/funeral-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [the FCA Financial Services Register (funeral plan providers)](https://register.fca.org.uk/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [MoneySavingExpert prepaid funeral plans guide](https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/prepaid-funeral-plans/) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Over50choices funeral plan comparison](https://www.over50choices.co.uk/funeral-planning/funeral-plans/compare) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) - [Fairer Finance rating for Perfect Choice funeral plans](https://www.fairerfinance.com/ratings/brands/perfect-choice-funeral-plans) (the publisher's own terms; quoted for reporting and comment) ## Cite or embed - The median published figure in the Funeral Plan Provider Board is 1,700 GBP across 8 sources' own pages (range 1,324 to 1,950 GBP), read 12 October 2026. - 8 of the 24 named sources read in full publish a figure; 16 publish none, read 12 October 2026. - The median is unchanged since 26 September 2026 (was 1,700 GBP across 8).
