The lowest published price captured locally is £700 at Joseph C Roberts (17.4 mi, captured 16 September 2026); the highest is £2,799 at Rose Funerals and Memorials (23.5 mi, captured 9 November 2026).

What does the published unattended burial price include?

Funeral director's charges only. The burial fee, exclusive right of burial (the plot), gravedigging and any memorial permit are set by the cemetery operator and paid separately — and typically cost more than the funeral director's charge itself. Each funeral director's CMA Standardised Price List sets out exactly what its own unattended burial price covers, in the same fixed format, so the figures for North Yorkshire compare like for like.

What can push an unattended burial price above the quoted figure in North Yorkshire?

The £1,600 median unattended burial price for North Yorkshire 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, and any doctor's or registrar's fees not already bundled. The cemetery operator's interment fee and the exclusive right of burial are separate third-party charges on an unattended burial. 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.
