What the CMA order requires on a funeral director's own website

These three requirements apply equally to every UK funeral director, whoever they are. Public sources can't show whether a website carries them — which is exactly why it's worth checking your own:

Standardised Price List (SPL)
CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021
Should be on your website: A price list, in the CMA’s standard format, covering the simple funeral and a full range of other services — published on the funeral director’s own website.
Additional Options price list
CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021
Should be on your website: A separate, easily found price list for optional extras — limousines, floral tributes, order-of-service printing and similar — alongside the SPL.
Disclosure of Interests
CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, Art 5(1)(a)
Should be on your website: A public statement of any ownership link that could present a conflict of interest — membership of a larger group, or common ownership with a crematorium.

Quick answers

Is L&J Gulwell Funeral Directors an independent funeral director?

Yes — on the public sources we review, L&J Gulwell Funeral Directors carries no known link to a national funeral chain or group. Independence is the norm we track for, since national groups already disclose their ownership structure separately. This is cross-referenced and aggregated from official public sources (SAIF, Companies House, Scottish funeral register). If any detail is out of date, email hello@funeralguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.

Is L&J Gulwell Funeral Directors a member of a funeral trade body?

Yes — L&J Gulwell Funeral Directors appears in the SAIF member directory. Trade-body membership carries a code of practice and a complaints route independent of the business itself. This is drawn from the trade bodies' own public member directories, cross-referenced and aggregated from official public sources (SAIF, Companies House, Scottish funeral register). If any detail is out of date, email hello@funeralguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.

What should L&J Gulwell Funeral Directors's own website show, under the CMA funerals order?

The same as for every UK funeral director: a Standardised Price List in the CMA's own format, a separate Additional Options price list for extras, and a Disclosure of Interests statement covering any ownership link to a larger group. Public sources can't show whether these are on a given website — which is why it's worth checking directly. This describes the standing requirements of the CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, not an assessment of this business.
