Fees You Must Pay

For an Attended or Unattended burial funeral, the burial fee applies.* In this local area, the typical cost of the burial fee for local residents is charged at the local cemetery rate. Additionally, 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 or replacement fee. Furthermore, the cemetery may charge a number of other fees. Please discuss any specific religious, belief-based, or cultural requirements with the funeral director in advance.

*This fee (sometimes called the interment fee) covers the digging and closing of a new grave or reopening and closing an existing grave. For an Attended cremation, the cremation fee is that charged by the crematorium, and crematoria fees vary depending on the location.

This is a funeral where family and friends may choose to have a ceremony, event, or service for the deceased person; however, they do not attend the burial or cremation itself.

Burial (funeral director’s charges only) – Not available
Cremation (funeral director’s charges plus the cremation fee)* £1,595.00

Additionally, in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, you will usually need to pay doctors’ fees. This covers the charge for a doctor to sign the Medical Certificates for Cremation.
