- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “By the close of 2024, the UK funeral plan sector had experienced profound changes following the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) assumption of regulatory oversight in July 2022.”
- “The average cost of a basic funeral rose to £4,285—a 3.5% increase from 2023—while the total 'cost of dying' reached a record £9,797.”
- “in February 2024, the FCA put a VREQ (Voluntary Requirement) in place on the business, preventing us from onboarding any new intermediaries until specific resource and process items were bolstered and approved.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
