Following a recent review by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) we are required to publish a standard set of funeral fees and services. The below is a guide to some of our fees and services, as set out by the CMA. We do not sell 'packages' because in our experience, just like every life, every funeral is unique and is tailored to suit indivdual requirements. Please telephone us to discuss your individual requirements and we can work out a cost depending on the level of service required.
All funeral directors are legally required to publish this Price List for a standardised set of products and services. This is to help you think through your options and make choices, and to let you compare prices between different funeral directors (because prices can vary).
