Changes to Searching Searching now differentiates between casual visitors and customers
For years casual visitors to the website have been using the full power of our advanced searching to gain very useful information free of charge, while our committed customers who have registered and bought vouchers or subscriptions gain no advantage when it comes to searching. To correct this situation, from 19th October 2016 advanced searching will be available only to users who have purchased at least one voucher within the last six months. Those who haven't will still be able to use the simple name and date searching, but the location information will not be so precise.
All searches of our database continue to be free.
In making these changes to searching we are aligning Deceased Online with normal practices in the on-line genealogy marketplace. ........
One recent example is
Cremation Register summary last name Rowen first names Elsie Mabel Cremation date 21 January 1992 Location Nottinghamshire
Previously it would have said which Crematorium.
it isn't entirely clear how much a voucher or credit costs. Previously the cheapest voucher was £5.

From Deceasedonline FAQ's:
Credit/debit card payments I don't have a credit or debit card - can I still use Deceased Online? Not at the moment. We may issue vouchers in due course.
And yet, it also says:
Product Price £5 Voucher £5.00 £10 Voucher + £0.70 Bonus £10.00 £25 Voucher + £2.50 bonus £25.00 £50 Voucher + £7.50 bonus £50.00 Subscription Voucher (1 year) £89.00

So still £5? Hmm. If they were direct line rellies, may be. Otherwise not.
You can't really blame them.
