Frequently asked questions
How much is an attended funeral in County Durham?
The median attended funeral price in County Durham is £2,795, based on 108 published CMA Standardised Price Lists from funeral directors within 18 miles. Prices range from £1,202 to £3,600. The lowest published price captured locally is £1,202 at All Season Independent Funeral Directors - Throckley (16.8 mi, captured 16 September 2026); the highest is £3,600 at Stuart Wright Funeral Service Ltd - Pelton (6.8 mi, captured 16 September 2026). The nearest crematorium with a captured fee is Durham Crematorium, about 1.4 miles away, where the standard attended cremation fee is £1,041 (captured November 2026 from the operator's published fee list), a separate charge from the funeral director's. Every funeral director price is taken from the funeral director's own published CMA Standardised Price List, captured by Funeral Cost Index (most recent capture 9 November 2026).
What does the published attended funeral price include?
Funeral director's charges only — the hearse, professional fees, care of the deceased, and a coffin. The crematorium's cremation fee, doctors' fees, and clergy or celebrant fees are paid separately as disbursements. Each funeral director's CMA Standardised Price List sets out exactly what its own attended funeral price covers, in the same fixed format, so the figures for County Durham compare like for like.
What can push an attended funeral price above the quoted figure in County Durham?
The £2,795 median attended funeral price for County Durham is the funeral director's published charge for the standard service. Costs commonly added on top are out-of-hours or non-hospital collection, collection from outside the funeral director's normal radius, an oversized coffin, removal of a pacemaker or other implant before cremation, hand delivery or tracked postage of the ashes, and any doctor's or registrar's fees not already bundled. The crematorium or burial authority fee, and a minister or celebrant, are separate third-party charges on an attended funeral. Each provider's own CMA Standardised Price List sets out its additional-cost options in a fixed format, which is what makes these comparable between funeral directors.
