CMA said in its interim report that Dignity's profit margins have been well above those of similar businesses operating in some other countries.
Britons generally spend between 3,000 pounds and 5,000 pounds ($3,831-$6,385) organising a funeral, with the price of essential elements having increased by more than two thirds in the past 10 years, the CMA said.
The scale of these price rises -- at almost three times the rate of inflation -- does not appear to be justified by cost increases or quality improvements, the regulator added.
"People mourning the loss of a loved one are extremely vulnerable and at risk of being exploited. We need to make sure that they are protected at such an emotional time and we're very concerned about the substantial increases in funeral prices over the past decade," said CMA Chief Executive Andrea Coscelli.
