Each funeral is different so costs can vary. We offer a range of proper traditional funerals from £1,795. Disbursements need to be added to those prices. For a cremation or burial, if you already have a grave, these will be approximately £1,200. If you need to purchase a grave, these will be about £2,100. Most of our funeral invoices are for between £3,200 and £3,400, which would include:

Direct Cremation is an ultra-modern alternative to a full-service funeral and costs just £1,345 inclusive of the essential disbursements. Click here for full details. Please note that our occasional offers, promotions, and vouchers cannot be used for Direct Cremation or our Basic and Simple Funeral Packages.

When you compare the prices of different funeral homes, we believe those that are more expensive are charging more than they need and do not offer anything more than we do. A small number of funeral homes are less expensive than us, but rather than base your decision on whom to entrust your dear family member to purely on price, we would urge you to visit a couple of funeral homes. Ask to meet a qualified Funeral Arranger, a qualified Funeral Director and a qualified Embalmer and ask to see a chapel of rest, a limousine, a hearse, and an example coffin.

Don't assume that all funeral homes are the same and that the only difference is price. We have always believed in pricing fairly. We charge enough to pay for the best-trained and qualified staff, to purchase quality mortuary equipment and vehicles, and to maintain our premises to a high standard. The majority of our profit is re-invested in things that you can benefit from.
