Funeral​ Costs
​
We appreciate that cost can be a factor when organising a funeral and we aim to be transparent, offering you different options depending on your budget or requirements. Please always feel you can approach us to talk about our costs.

When it comes to paying for a funeral, there are services we provide - such as the hire of a hearse and collection of the deceased - and third party disbursements, which include costs related to the crematorium, doctors’ fees and ministers’ fees etc.
