Clear and transparent pricing

One Package for Cremation or Burial

The same £3,995 package can be used for either type of funeral. The only additions are the relevant third-party charges for the crematorium, cemetery, church, place of worship or other external services selected by the family.

We will explain these charges clearly and provide a full written estimate, so you know the expected cost before the arrangements are confirmed.

The package includes a standard celebrant or minister allowance of £250 for a crematorium, cemetery chapel or graveside service. Any amount above that allowance is added to the funeral account.
Additional costs only where required

Third-Party Fees

These fees are set by the organisation providing the service and vary according to the choices made by the family.

Crematorium Fee

Added when the funeral is a cremation. The fee depends on the crematorium and service time selected.

Burial and Cemetery Fees

May include grave purchase, reopening, interment and gravedigging charges. Fees vary between cemeteries and churchyards.

Church or Place of Worship

Charges may include clergy, venue, organist, verger, choir or other costs set by the church or place of worship.

Officiant Fees Above £250

If the chosen minister or celebrant charges more than the included £250 allowance, only the difference is added.
