Since 1 January 2002 funeral plans have been regulated under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Sales of funeral plans are covered by the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations
2000 and the Financial Services (Distance Marketing) Regulations 2004. Both regulations require that, at a minimum, consumers must be given clear information including details of the goods or services offered, supply arrangements, payment details, and the supplier's details before they buy. Consumers must also be provided with a cooling-off period.
