We understand that funeral costs can be a source of concern. Our aim is to explain the available choices clearly and provide an itemised estimate before the funeral arrangements are confirmed.

Clear and Transparent Funeral Costs Explained
The total cost normally has three parts:
1. Our professional services and the funeral arrangements we provide.
2. Products and optional services selected by the family, such as a particular coffin, limousines, flowers or stationery.
3. Third-party fees paid to other organisations, sometimes called disbursements.
Our professional services
Depending on the funeral selected, our services may include:
• Receiving instructions and making the funeral arrangements
• Advice and support regarding documentation and registration
• Bringing the person who has died into our care within the agreed area and times
• Care and preparation of the person who has died
• Use of the chapel of rest by appointment, where included
• Provision of the selected coffin
• Use of a hearse and funeral staff
• Liaison with the crematorium, cemetery, church, officiant and other suppliers
• Administration and coordination before and on the day of the funeral
The exact inclusions depend on the funeral option chosen. We will explain these in writing.

These fees can change and may vary by location. We will include the anticipated amounts in your estimate and update you if a supplier changes its charge.
Your written estimate
Once the main arrangements have been discussed, we will provide a written estimate setting out the expected cost. Please review it carefully and ask us about anything that is unclear.
If you later request changes, we will explain the effect on the total cost and issue updated information where necessary.
