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 Wells compare like for like.

What can push an attended funeral price above the quoted figure in Wells?

The £2,995 median attended funeral price for Wells 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.
