Mulholland Funeral Directors applies to become FCA member

Mulholland Funeral Directors has announced it has submitted an application to become an FCA regulated pre-paid funeral plan provider.

It comes after news of an “imminent” regulation of the funeral plan market by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The FCA has not yet announced which companies’ applications have successfully been approved, however Mulholland said it is in “regular contact with the FCA during this pre regulation period and are confident in our approach and application”.

Mulholland’s pre-paid funeral plan is called Choice, under the registration of the Alternative Planning Company Limited, and is a registered member of the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA) which is an organisation set up by the industry to regulate providers in the UK pre-paid funeral plan industry.
