I'm currently in the process of writing a small localised book on arranging funerals yourself (D.I.Y funerals). During the process of collating information, I have made phone calls to local funerals related businesses to enquire on the costs for certain things.

I'm planning on putting a small localised list of businesses (a directory if you will), and the quoted prices I was given for things such as their most economical casket, cold storage prices per day etc.

Is it OK to publish this information in a book? I would like to know if publishing a companies prices and there contacts details is allowed?

I will be mentioning that the price was given to me on a specified date. This information is meant to be public knowledge anyway, as funeral related businesses are dealing with the public.

Any comments and further thought's on this would be greatly appreciated.
