Frequently asked questions
How much is an attended funeral in Greater Manchester?
The median attended funeral price in Greater Manchester is £2,990, based on 135 published CMA Standardised Price Lists from funeral directors within 15 miles. Prices range from £995 to £3,395. The lowest published price captured locally is £995 at P J Lundy Funeral Directors (13.8 mi, captured 16 September 2026); the highest is £3,395 at Altrincham Funeral Directors (7.7 mi, captured 5 October 2026). The nearest crematorium with a captured fee is Borough Cemetery, about 2.5 miles away, where the standard attended cremation fee is £995 (captured May 2026 from Co-op Funeralcare's published crematoria price list (secondary source)), 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 Greater Manchester compare like for like.
What can push an attended funeral price above the quoted figure in Greater Manchester?
The £2,990 median attended funeral price for Greater Manchester 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.
