Funeral directors with published prices in County Durham
How this page is calculated
Funeral directors are matched to County Durham using their postcode’s official local authority district code, then prices are taken from the latest captured CMA Standardised Price List for each provider. Medians are only shown where there are at least three valid prices for that service.
These figures usually cover funeral director charges. Third-party costs such as crematorium fees, burial plots, celebrants and cemetery charges may vary locally.
