Opportunity

The organisation operates an extensive branch network serving diverse cultural and faith communities across the UK. With recent volume pressure and evolving consumer expectations, leadership saw a strategic opportunity to modernise pricing, improve value communication, and create more intuitive service packages that better support families’ needs. Pearson Ham Group was engaged to assess pricing headroom, redesign offer architecture, and elevate the customer journey through clearer, experience‑led packaging.

Challenges

  • Pricing misaligned with local branch performance and competitive conditions
  • Limited clarity and emotional reassurance across existing service options
  • Untapped opportunity to bundle complementary services and increase average spend
  • Need to better cater to minority faith communities through tailored solutions
  • Risk of cannibalisation from low‑cost ‘fighter’ products without clear positioning

Outcomes

The strategy is forecasted to deliver £1m in revenue uplift over 12 months from price increases, packaging and communication improvements.

Why It Matters

Funeral services require both commercial sensitivity and emotional intelligence. By aligning pricing with perceived value and streamlining the decision‑making process, the organisation strengthened customer trust while enhancing profitability. This case illustrates how pricing modernisation can simultaneously improve experience and commercial performance in sensitive service sectors.
