Example Cost
We like to be straight forward with our fees, however funeral directors calculate their costs in different ways. This can make it difficult to make a comparison on prices from different funeral directors. All the funerals we conduct are completely bespoke, we tailor each of them to fit your needs, making it difficult to give a good comparison.
