What does this mean?

An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
Dallingers Funeral Directors Limited (FRN 1038815) is an AR of Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited (FRN 958152). When you use Dallingers Funeral Directors's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
