This bill would bring pre-paid funeral plan contracts under the Financial Conduct Authority’s oversight, so funeral plan providers would have to follow FCA rules. It would amend the Regulated Activities Order to list funeral plans as a regulated activity. The aim is to improve consumer protections and ensure proper selling, handling and management of these plans.
The bill is currently at the second reading stage in the House of Commons; it originated in the Commons and had a first reading in December 2016.
