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.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the way A. V. Band handled my Mum’s funeral. From the beginning to the end of the funeral arrangements they were sympathetic, extremely helpful, always available to talk to when needed and all the arrangements came together perfectly on the day. Special thanks to Liz and Chantelle for everything. The order of service was beautiful and Clare, the celebrant, put together a wonderful service. My Mum would have been so very proud of everything. Thank you all so much!
