Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms for our suppliers paid through our accounts payable process is 30 days. However, we do have a range of payment terms which are negotiated with individual suppliers on a case by case basis. —In addition to our normal payment processes, we also make a significant number of payments through our network of funeral locations. These payments generally represent disbursements incurred on behalf of our customers and, as such, are not subject to our formal payment terms and conditions. We have included these suppliers within our reporting. We endeavour to pay these suppliers promptly (usually within 7-14 days of receipt of invoice or provision of service).
