How our funeral costs helpline and guidance is helping people who are struggling to pay for a funeral.
Since 2010, we have run the only UK-wide service for people struggling with funeral costs, Down to Earth. Our helpline is there for people in the depths of grief, providing effective and compassionate advice to prevent undue financial distress. The team continues to play a central role in influencing government policy and industry practice on funeral poverty, using a unique frontline expertise to speak truth to power. The project has now supported over 4,500 families directly.
