S. D. Brown Funeral Directors

S. D. Brown Funeral Directors (FRN 981575) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

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. S. D. Brown Funeral Directors (FRN 981575) is an AR of Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited (FRN 958152). When you use S. D. Brown Funeral Directors's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm. Example: if you take financial advice from S. D. Brown Funeral Directors, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances. Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

The FCA register lists the phone number 028 9267 7722 for S. D. Brown Funeral Directors. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

S. D. Brown Funeral Directors is a genuine FCA-listed firm, and the FCA has published no warnings about fake versions of it. Scammers do copy real firms, though, so check that any contact details you were given match the ones on the register.

Protection works through Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited, the principal firm responsible for S. D. Brown Funeral Directors's regulated activity. FSCS cover and the Financial Ombudsman Service apply as they would to the principal.
