Cremation fee vs funeral director fee
A funeral involving a cremation at Southampton Crematorium has two distinct charges. The first is the cremation fee, paid to Southampton 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 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.
