FCA updates on regulating the funeral plans sector

The FCA has updated its webpages on regulating the funeral plans sector to set out what firms should be doing to prepare for FCA regulation on 29 July 2022. It has also published the authorisation and variation of permission forms that funeral plan providers will need to complete, together with supporting guidance notes.

The authorisation gateway opens on 1 September 2021 and the FCA has stressed that the application fee will increase by 40% for applications made after 1 November.
