A direct cremation provider is being investigated by the advertising watchdog after complaints its pre-paid plans don’t make clear that a funeral service isn't included. As more people opt for lower-cost alternatives, we look at why it’s important to discuss funeral plans and expectations with family members in advance. A You and Yours listener says she’s being inundated with marketing emails after shopping online. We explore how companies decide how often to contact customers and whether too many messages risk driving people away. With the government advising against all but essential travel to the UAE, we look at the impact on British holidaymakers, airlines and the businesses in Dubai that rely heavily on UK visitors. House prices have dipped for the first time this year and growth is slowing. We hear from a couple struggling to sell their home and ask what it means for the wider housing market. And with the summer school holidays approaching, families are bracing for the cost of six weeks of childcare and activities. We look at what people are doing to keep spending down and ask whether government support measures will be enough to ease the financial pressure for people with children.
