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; 341 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): One row per firm per service on the ONE unit the market never puts side by side. The Order fixes the SHAPE of each firm's list but not the comparison, and the two headline figures are not like for like: an attended funeral is quoted as the funeral director's charges ONLY, while a direct cremation is quoted all-in INCLUDING the crematorium fee. So the index normalises to an all-in figure by joining each firm to the crematorium fee actually payable in its area (the crematoria register, dataset 3), and publishes what nobody publishes: the median, range and cheapest all-in attended funeral and direct cremation per council area and per region; the SPREAD within one area, which the CMA's own finding says is the buyer's whole problem; the share of firms in each area that publish a compliant list at all, which is the Order's live compliance rate; national chain versus independent at the same postcode; and repriced-since the previous read, per firm.", "embed": "
