MSI Funeral Services: Presentation: UK: APRIL 2003

Overview

An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.

The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

DEFINITIONS

i Definitions The report analyses the UK market for funeral services both in value and volume terms. For the purposes of this report the volume of the UK funeral services market is segmented by type of service, including cremations and burials.

The value of the funeral services market relates to the turnover made by funeral directors in the UK. For the purposes of this report pre-paid funeral plans are included in the market size and are counted at the time the funeral occurs. The value for cremations and burials refers to the full cost of the service, including disbursements. Cremation disbursements relate to the cremation fee, ministers fee and doctors certificate for cremations. Burial disbursements refer to grave digging fee, headstones, plot fee, ministers fee and doctors certificate for burials.

The term extras relates to the additional items purchased or rented for funeral services directly through funeral directors such as extra vehicles for family, extended service time and flowers.

All values are quoted at current prices unless otherwise stated and include VAT. MSI has a policy of rounding numbers, including financial information, from five upwards to the next nearest significant figure. Forecast death statistics do not take into account any losses that may occur due to conflict or terrorist actions.
