What a funeral costs, written down
When someone has died, the last thing you need is a surprise bill. This is our full price for a simple funeral with a service at the crematorium. Nothing is added later without your say.
Every funeral director in the UK shows a standard price list. Read ours (sample), or ask us to mail it to you.
