The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is the independent non-ministerial department responsible for investigating market-wide competition issues in the UK. The CMA has not recently conducted a study or investigation into the funeral industry but regularly reviews what market issues should be included within its work portfolio, in line with its published prioritisation principles.
