Do you need support and friendly advice on how to arrange an affordable funeral in Dundee?
Funeral poverty is an increasing hardship in Dundee and for the poorest people costs are up to 40% of their annual expenditure, often leading to large debts making it hard for the bereaved to grieve properly. Although grieving families want to give their loved one the best possible send off they often consider it disrespectful to shop around, rarely querying funeral quotes and feeling pressurised to buy expensive add-ons. Clearly there was a need for an independent body to champion the bereaved – Funeral Link is that organisation.
