How much does a funeral cost?
The cost of a funeral depends on what you need. 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. We'll help you understand everything, so you can plan without any surprises.
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. We don't charge for the little touches like placing a rose on the coffin or playing music.
Your local funeral director will be able to talk you through your options and give you an idea of costs.
