Clear, transparent funeral pricing
We believe you should be able to see our prices easily and understand exactly what is included.
Our commitment to clear pricing
Arranging a funeral often comes at a difficult time, and understanding costs should never add to that worry. We set out our prices in plain language so you can see what each part of a funeral involves and what it costs.
Below you can see our Standardised Price List in full, along with details of additional options and any third-party costs that may apply. If anything is unclear, we are always happy to talk it through with you.

In this local area, the typical cost of the burial fee for local residents is shown opposite. For a new grave you will also need to pay for the plot; for an existing grave with a memorial in place, you may need to pay a removal/replacement fee.
