Funeral costs

Please remember that these are not the total costs of a funeral. Your funeral director should send the appropriate fee in with the application form so he/she may ask for them when the booking is made, or he/she may recover them by showing them as separate disbursements on your invoice.

There will be other disbursements including

  • Medical fees
  • Minister's/celebrant's fees

These are the fees that will still be payable if you arrange the funeral yourself without the services of a funeral director.

Funeral Costs are the first charge on the estate of the deceased. Any bank or building society will pay an invoice for these costs from the deceased's account even when it is frozen pending application for Probate or Letters of Administration.

Right to erect a memorial .............................£160

Added inscription to a memorial....................£85

Other memorial works..................................£30
