The nearest crematorium with a captured fee is Sunderland Crematorium, about 1.6 miles away, where the standard attended cremation fee is £1,106 — a separate charge from the funeral director's.

What can push a attended funeral price above the quoted figure in Sunderland?

The £2,850 median attended funeral price for Sunderland 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.
