Hand the entire thing to us. That's the deal.
When someone dies there's a funeral to arrange — and then everything around it: the registrar, the banks, the pensions, the probate, your own affairs. Concierge brings all of it together. We connect you to a trusted local funeral director for the funeral itself, and co-ordinate everything else alongside them. One co-ordinator. One number. One file.
Your first call is free. You don't pay until you've confirmed exactly what you want.
You don't need to choose a tier here. Inside the journey, at the close of every stage, we offer exactly the right level for your situation — and when AfterLife arranges the funeral, our concierge service is included until the funeral or Celebration of Life is completed, then £899 to the very end. This page is simply the menu in full.
- First call with a co-ordinator, free, no obligation

Things people ask before signing up.
Is Concierge worth the fee?
That's for you to decide — and you decide after your free first call, not before. We work directly with vetted funeral directors, solicitors, and other providers across the UK; we know what reasonable pricing looks like in your area and we'll tell you when something isn't. We also help surviving spouses identify support they may be entitled to, like Bereavement Support Payment, which many families don't realise applies to them.
Your first call is free. If after that call you don't think Concierge is worth it, you walk away with no charge.
Are you regulated?
AfterLife operates as a marketplace and concierge co-ordination service. We are not a funeral director, solicitor, or financial adviser ourselves — but the providers we work with are. Probate work is delivered by SRA-regulated solicitors. Will and LPA work is solicitor-reviewed where required. Funeral plan administration follows FCA rules and Funeral Planning Authority standards. Funeral directors in our network are members of NAFD or SAIF and comply with the CMA Order. Concierge co-ordinates with these regulated professionals on your behalf for each part of your journey.
Modern Slavery, Privacy, Complaints — see the footer.
What if we change our mind partway through?
You can stop at any point. We hand back the file, we tell you exactly what's been done and what's outstanding, and we refund the unused portion of your fee on a pro-rata basis. We don't lock anyone into anything.
Do you handle Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh funerals?
Yes — and the speed required for each. We have funeral directors, mosques, synagogues, gurdwaras, and crematoria with family-witness chambers in our network across every UK metro. The journey asks faith first because almost everything else flows from it — collection timing, body care, ceremony, who needs to be involved. A Muslim family in Birmingham at 6pm gets very different first steps from a Catholic family in Surrey on a weekday morning.
Is this just an undertaker with a different name?
No. A funeral director handles the body, the ceremony, and the immediate weeks. Concierge handles all of that plus the financial cascade (banks, pensions, insurance), the property, the legal work, the surviving spouse's own affairs, and stays with the family through probate and beyond. The funeral director is the first and most important professional we connect a family to — you don't choose AfterLife instead of a funeral director, you reach the right one through us, and we co-ordinate everything around them.
What if we already started with an undertaker?
That's fine. We work alongside whoever you've chosen. Concierge picks up everything that isn't already in motion — registration, notifications, property, financial, probate. Nothing wasted, no awkward handover. Many of our cases come in this way: family hires an undertaker, then realises there's another 60 things to do beyond the funeral itself.
How is this different from doing the journey?
The journey gives you a personalised plan and shows you exactly which suppliers we'd choose for each step. It's free, takes about 5 minutes, and you can walk away with the plan and do everything yourself if you prefer.
Concierge is when you say "yes, you do all of that for me." Same plan — but we make every call, manage every supplier, file every form. You only hear from us with weekly summaries and any decisions only you can make.
Do you take commission from suppliers?
No. Suppliers pay a flat monthly subscription to appear on the marketplace in their postcode area — and that is the only money that ever changes hands between a supplier and AfterLife. There is no commission, no introducer fee, and no per-booking payment of any kind, so no supplier can pay their way into a recommendation.
The supplier's price to you is exactly the same as booking them directly, and recommendations are driven only by distance, rating and faith specialism.
Request a callback.
Leave your details and a Concierge co-ordinator will call you — usually within two hours, always free, with no obligation.
Arranging the funeral or Celebration of Life?
Build the specification with us, or give us the key details and we'll take care of it. Either way you get a document you can print, write on, and take to any funeral director.
