Not all funeral directors are the same, so it pays to do your homework!
Don’t be deceived by the large funeral brand names advertised on a billboard, in the newspaper, on radio or in the media.
Often, large publicly listed companies will use family brand names with their advertising, because they know consumers will be more inclined to trust them, and they often use the reputation of the family name. However, these brands don’t necessarily provide consumers with value for money. Their business model is driven by upselling, revenue targets and profits to corporate shareholders, not the interests of consumers.
InvoCare, which operates under recognisable brand names such as White Lady Funerals and Simplicity Funerals currently enjoys a 40% market share and reportedly up to 80% on Australia’s profitable east coast. This is the same company that was fined by the ACCC in 2014 for false and misleading practices on the purchase of memorials for use at burial sites. Propel Funeral Partners is another ASX listed company expanding its market share as it looks to spend millions of dollars acquiring more family owned funeral homes.
