Useful funeral cost guides
What goes into a funeral cost in Brownhills?
A funeral in the UK has two parts: the funeral director’s charges (their professional fee, the coffin, the hearse, and the care of the deceased), and third-party fees known as disbursements (cremation or burial fees, doctors’ fees, and any clergy or celebrant fees). The prices shown above cover only the funeral director’s charges, drawn from each provider’s published CMA Standardised Price List.
A direct cremation is an unattended cremation with no service. It is usually the lowest-cost option, and funeral directors that offer it must publish its price under the CMA Order. An attended funeral includes a service at a crematorium or place of worship.

What is a CMA Standardised Price List?
Under the CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, every funeral director in the UK must publish a Standardised Price List showing the price of an attended funeral and, where offered, a direct (unattended) cremation, with a breakdown of the funeral director's professional fees, transport, care of the deceased, coffin, and third-party disbursement charges. Because the format is fixed by the CMA, like-for-like comparison is reliable for the first time.
Prices sourced from each provider’s published CMA Standardised Price List, where available. Always verify directly with the funeral director before making decisions.
