Compare Funeral Pricing - our overview of choices
When you’re in the early stages of planning a funeral, transparency and clarity is paramount. We can explain the price of cremation, the difference between natural and traditional burial, and the many types of coffins available in detail; in the meantime this provides you with a snapshot to compare. Our unattended funerals start at just £1395 and our attended early morning funerals start at £2950 both giving you value with quality. As we believe that no two funerals are the same, each is as unique as the person they’re commemorating. We've carefully put together some other popular "packages" for a variety of budgets and needs, as well as opportunity of curating a funeral from scratch for those who want something different starting at £1300. Ask us for your personal quotation - we aim to be as competitive as we can.
