Co-op funeral price list: direct cremation and attended funeral costs
By Peter Langdon FCA · Last updated 5 August 2026
Quick answer
Co-op Funeralcare charges the same published price at every branch Funeral Cost Index has captured: £1,240 for a direct cremation and £3,265 in attended funeral director charges, identical across all 492 branches with a published CMA Standardised Price List captured to 2026-08-20. The crematorium's own fee is paid separately on top of the attended figure.
Co-op Funeralcare branches publish CMA Standardised Price Lists showing direct cremation, attended funeral director charges, professional fees and selected extras. Funeral Cost Index tracks those published Co-op funeral price lists where available and links each captured branch back to its source price list, so Co-op funeral costs can be compared with nearby independents, Dignity, Funeral Partners and other local providers.

Co-op direct cremation cost
Co-op direct cremation costs £1,240, and that is the figure at every one of the 492 Co-op Funeralcare branches with a captured CMA Standardised Price List — one national price, not a range. Direct cremation is the clearest Co-op funeral cost to compare, because the published figure should include the cremation fee, a simple coffin, transport and return of ashes.
Because the price is the same at every branch, the comparison that matters is not between Co-op branches but between Co-op and the funeral directors near you, whose prices are set locally and do vary between areas. Use the Co-op Funeralcare group page for the captured branch list, then compare against your local area.

Co-op attended funeral cost
Attended funeral prices are less like-for-like than direct cremation because the published figure usually covers funeral director charges only. Crematorium, burial, minister, celebrant, doctors' fees and other third-party costs are normally separate. In the captured Co-op price-list data, the median attended funeral director charge is £3,265.
How to compare Co-op funeral prices
Compare the direct cremation total first, because it is the cleanest like-for-like figure. For attended funerals, remember that the published funeral director charge normally excludes crematorium, burial, minister, celebrant and other third-party fees.

Frequently asked questions
Does Co-op Funeralcare publish a price list?
Yes. Co-op Funeralcare branches publish CMA Standardised Price Lists showing direct cremation, attended funeral director charges and selected additional services.
How much is a Co-op direct cremation?
A Co-op Funeralcare direct cremation costs £1,240, and that is the price at every one of the 492 Co-op branches with a CMA Standardised Price List captured by Funeral Cost Index — Co-op prices this service nationally rather than by branch, so the figure does not change with location.
How much is a Co-op attended funeral?
Across captured Co-op Funeralcare price lists, the median attended funeral director charge is £3,265. This usually excludes third-party fees such as crematorium, burial, minister or celebrant charges.
How should I compare Co-op with nearby funeral directors?
Compare the same two figures on each provider's CMA Standardised Price List: the direct cremation price and the attended funeral director charge. Co-op Funeralcare publishes £1,240 and £3,265 respectively at all 492 branches captured by Funeral Cost Index, so those two numbers work as a fixed national benchmark to hold nearby independent and group-owned funeral directors against — whose prices are set locally and do differ between areas. Because the CMA Order requires the same fixed format on every UK funeral director's website, the comparison is like-for-like.
What is included in Co-op attended funeral prices?
The attended funeral price normally covers funeral director charges only. Third-party fees such as crematorium, burial, minister or celebrant fees are usually separate.
