Check out this summary of the recent @SunLife Cost of Dying report. Standout for me: cost remains a poor indicator of experience. The best support is not the most expensive - and Poppy's pricing sits 10% below the London average.
Each year, financial services company Sun Life publishes a research report into funerals: The Cost of Dying. The 2025 report, which came out this week, doesn’t just look at costs but also at wider funeral trends. Here are 5 trends that caught our eye — and why they matter⬇️.

Makes me think of mid-century reality of women giving birth without their partners present - they weren't welcome. That was the norm. Now the partner has the chance to cut the cord, skin on skin etc. Norms shift.

Some people say no to this because they think it'll be morbid/traumatic. My sense is that funeral directors & co could be doing MUCH more to humanise this experience. We gotta do what's right for us. But we shouldn't miss out on something this important for the wrong reasons.
🧡“Seeing my father one last time helped erase the image I had etched in my mind of him in hospital. He looked dapper in the clothes he liked most." . At Poppy's, we enable relatives & friends to visit the people we are caring for and to choose clothes for them if they wish.
