That’s how the idea of Compare the Coffin was born. Steven Mitchell shared his idea with Akmal Saleem, his web wizard, and Charles Cowling, a consumer advocate, and the three of them set to work to create a consumer resource which is independent, ethical and transparent, one which offers you choice, value and convenience — a calm place where you can come to terms with arranging a funeral and find the funeral director who offers the best value and the best personal service in your area.
Why the name, you ask. Well, it’s deliberately not sombre. It’s emotionally neutral; we don’t presume to address how you feel. And it’s descriptive. Compare The Coffin is a service comparison website.
The funeral director you are looking for is a person with whom you can form a relationship of trust. We’ll help you do that. First, though, we want you to be certain that you can trust the people who created Compare The Coffin.
So, here we are.
