How do funeral costs vary?

The cost of a funeral depends on what you need. We'll help you understand everything, so you can plan without any surprises.

Our prices include all the essentials

The prices you see on each branch's Price List are our lowest for each type of funeral. They include caring for the person who's died, a simple coffin, and the cremation or burial. We don't charge for the little touches like placing a rose on the coffin or playing music.

What affects the cost?

You can choose to add a personal touch, such as a unique coffin, flowers, your choice of transport, a printed order of service or a memorial. There might be additional costs depending on the type of funeral you choose, or what you require. You can find out additional costs by looking at Additional Options Price Lists on each branch's webpage.

Thank you E H Crouch

Losing a parent is never an easy thing, even though my father was 96 years old.

When we met with Laura at the Baldock office, we could not ask for a more understanding and sympathetic person. She took us through everything one step at a time, ensuring that she understood what we wanted and made sure that everything was in place for the day, including arranging for an excellent celebrant in Graham Ellis.

On the day, the hearse, directors and coffin were immaculate. As family members were to be pallbearers, Nick and his team talked them through the steps and motions, remaining in the wings almost invisible to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As funerals go, we could not ask for a better team to have worked with.

From start to finish Laura and the team were excellent at the Baldock branch as they had been for my mothers 18 months before.

They made good suggestions and were so helpful

Graham Ellis the celebrant and Nick Pugh the head of the team on the day were brilliant to give my dad a good send off and celebrate his life before his resting place at Wilbury Cemetery
