The first is the cremation fee, paid to Belfast City Council for the cremation itself — this is a third-party disbursement, set by the operator, the same for any funeral director using the site.

The Funeral Cost Index area figures cover the funeral director's charges only, drawn from each provider's published CMA Standardised Price List.
