Useful funeral cost guides
What goes into a funeral cost in King's Cross?
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 the simplest, lower-cost option offered by every UK funeral director under the CMA Order. An attended funeral includes a service at a crematorium or place of worship.
