As an ambassador for Business for Good we are completely over the moon to have been shortlisted for a national Better Society Award.

Full Circle Funerals has been shortlisted for the Impact Company of the Year Award and we will be sharing the room with some pretty big names. Other Better Society Awards finalists include IKEA, Premier Inn, KPMG, Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Virgin Media O2 and Vodafone UK.

Full Circle Funerals has proactively and demonstrably committed to raise standards and expectations of care in the funeral industry and, more generally, promoted Business for Good as a benchmark for organisations in all sectors.

Funeral directors in the UK are currently unregulated, which means the industry does not have minimum standards or a code of conduct to work towards. There is also no requirement for those working in funeral care to belong to a regulatory or trade body. We have set out to change this by setting our own challenging standards of care and carrying out academic research to understand what people need when accessing funeral services.

At Full Circle Funerals our whole reason for being is to support people’s wellbeing after bereavement. We were founded in 2015 as a modern alternative in the industry, guided by health and social care principles. As a result of our vision, purpose and commitment to ethical business practices, we are confident that we have had a demonstrable positive impact on the lives of people who experience loss, not just those using our services.

The awards will be presented at a glittering ceremony at London’s Marriott Hotel on May 11^th.
