What’s included in the direct cremation price?
The CMA Order requires the published direct cremation price to include the cremation fee, a simple coffin, transport, and the return of ashes.
Direct cremation, sometimes called cremation only or a no-service funeral, usually includes collection of the deceased, care before cremation, a simple coffin, transport to the crematorium, the cremation fee and return of ashes. It does not usually include a funeral service, procession, limousine, viewing or celebrant.
Captured direct cremation prices in Buckinghamshire run from £1,005 to £2,255 across 60 published price lists captured by Funeral Cost Index up to 9 November 2026. The gap comes from funeral directors using different crematoria, collection areas, staffing models and service levels. Always check the source price list and ask the provider what is included before making a decision.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a direct cremation in Buckinghamshire?
The median direct cremation price in Buckinghamshire is £1,475, based on 60 published CMA Standardised Price Lists from funeral directors within 18 miles. Prices range from £1,005 to £2,255. The lowest published price captured locally is £1,005 at C S Boswell Independent Funeral Services - Bicester (16.2 mi, captured 16 September 2026); the highest is £2,255 at J Brown Funeral Services Ltd (12.9 mi, captured 1 May 2026). The nearest crematorium with a captured fee is Aylesbury Vale Crematorium, about 1.3 miles away, where the standard attended cremation fee is £1,195 (captured May 2026 from the operator's published fee list), a separate charge from the funeral director's. Every funeral director price is taken from the funeral director's own published CMA Standardised Price List, captured by Funeral Cost Index (most recent capture 9 November 2026).
What does the published direct cremation price include?
The CMA Order requires the published direct cremation price to include the cremation fee, a simple coffin, transport, and the return of ashes. Each funeral director's CMA Standardised Price List sets out exactly what its own direct cremation price covers, in the same fixed format, so the figures for Buckinghamshire compare like for like.
What can push a direct cremation price above the quoted figure in Buckinghamshire?
The £1,475 median direct cremation price for Buckinghamshire 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. A direct cremation price must already include the cremation fee under the CMA Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, so that is not an extra. 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.
Is direct cremation the same as cremation only in Buckinghamshire?
Yes. Searches for cremation only, simple cremation, unattended cremation and direct cremation usually refer to the same basic product: cremation without mourners present and without a funeral service. Providers may sell separate simple attended options, so always check what is included.
