How can I find out when a service is taking place at Inverness Crematorium?

Service times at Inverness Crematorium are held by the crematorium office, not by Funeral Cost Index — we publish fees and local funeral director prices, not the service diary. Most UK crematoria publish a daily or weekly diary of services, and many local authorities list forthcoming cremations online; the office can be reached on 01463 644450 and Highland Council publishes details on its own site. If you are trying to find the service for a particular person, the family's chosen funeral director is the quickest route, as they hold the booking.

How long does a cremation take at Inverness Crematorium?

A standard service slot at a UK crematorium is typically 30 to 45 minutes, which is the time booked in the chapel, not the cremation itself. Weekend services are available, normally at a surcharge. The cremation is carried out after the service, generally the same day, and ashes are usually available within a few working days. Exact timings are set by the crematorium office.

How much is a direct cremation at Inverness Crematorium?

The unattended (direct) cremation fee at Inverness Crematorium is £1,041 as captured 27 May 2026. This is the third-party crematorium fee only — funeral director charges are separate.

Cremation fee vs funeral director fee

A funeral involving a cremation at Inverness Crematorium has two distinct charges. The first is the cremation fee, paid to Highland 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 second is the funeral director's charge for their professional services, the coffin, the hearse and care of the deceased. The Funeral Cost Index area figures cover the funeral director's charges only, drawn from each provider's published CMA Standardised Price List.
