GOLDEN LEAVES PROVIDES REASSURANCE TO FUNERAL PLAN CUSTOMERS OF NON FCA REGULATED FUNERAL BUSINESS’S

Golden Leaves, one of the oldest and most respected funeral planning organisations in the United Kingdom, continues to offer support to Funeral Business’s who did not seek authorisation under the FCA regulations. Specifically, to Funeral Business’s that hold historical books of funeral plans sold prior to the onset of regulation in July 2022.

Barry Floyd, CEO of Golden Leaves stated,
