When arranging a funeral, probably one of the first things you’ll want to know are the costs involved.
Every funeral director is legally required to publish a standardised price list, detailing the costs of specific products and services. This is to enable you to think through your options, make your choices and compare prices between funeral directors (because prices can vary).
Each funeral is, of course, tailored to your personal wishes but you’ll find various options listed below to help you make your decision as to which option is right for you.
These are, of course, only suggestions and our services are not limited to these options – we’re here to guide you – please take your time – we’re here to help you arrange the funeral of your choice.
