Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2024

1.Accounting policies
Statutory information
The company is a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland including Section 1A Small Entities.
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in sterling and this is the functional currency of the company.
Turnover policy
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added tax. Revenue from funeral services is recognised when the related services are provided to the customer. For pre-arranged funeral plans, customer payments are paid into an independent trust. Revenue in respect of administration fees for these plans is recognised at the point when the related plan is sold. For funerals sold on an “at need” basis, revenue and directly attributable costs are recognised when the sales contract is signed with the customer.
Defined contribution pension plan
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
Current taxation
Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The assets are amortised over 3 years and amortisation is included in 'administrative expenses' in the profit and loss account.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets as follows:

Straight line (years)
Office Equipment3
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value where the difference between cost and fair value is material. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
