Funeral Costs

Fair & reasonable funeral costs

Funeral costs can vary quite considerably, depending on many factors, such as the type of coffin chosen, the venue for the burial or cremation service or how many people are to be catered for if there is to be a funeral tea. 

Funerals tailored to your exact needs

Every funeral we arrange is unique and it’s the choices that you make that will determine the final cost of the funeral. We'll guide you through the choices available to you and, if required, can provide a clear, written estimate of how much the funeral will cost based on the arrangements you’ve chosen. 

When arranging a funeral, there are a number of choices to be made which make up the final cost. For example, you will need to choose between burial or cremation, the type of coffin, family transportation,
funeral flowers and catering on the day, and so on.
