Costs and Charges Of Funeral Arrangement

In all aspects of the funeral arrangements our staff will point out the procedures and legal requirements. Whilst arranging the funeral, we will advise on costs and charges to be incurred, culminating in a full written estimate that should be agreed and signed so that you feel confident with the funeral commitment you have arranged.

The funeral account itself is divided into two separate parts, the Funeral Director’s charges and the disbursements. The Funeral Directors charges contain our professional fees and overhead costs, which include the provision of:

  • 24 hour a day on call rota
  • our professional services in making the funeral arrangements
  • arranging documentation and necessary personal attendances
  • the conveyance of the deceased to our private chapel rest rooms and the use of the same until the day of the funeral.

You may be eligible for help with funeral costs.

Relatives and friends often wish to visit the deceased and pay their last respects before the day of the funeral. We will only allow this on the specific request of the family.

Hygienic treatment and attendances to the deceased are also considered to be very important by our company. The last time you saw a loved one may have been a distressing memory, perhaps in hospital or for the purposes of identification. In any event we believe that, in asking us to look after a member of your family, you would like to be certain that the best that could be done
for your relative has been done whether you wish to visit the deceased before the funeral or not.

Hearse and Limousines

The hearse for the funeral with chauffeur. Limousines are charged for separately. This ensures that the family is not charged for something they may not need or want. The charge for limousines is fully inclusive to cover transport from the address at which your family requires to be picked up, through to your return to the final destination, within a limited distance. Each limousine is chauffeur driven and will normally carry up to seven mourners.
