Costs and Charges

In all aspects of the funeral arrangements our staff will point out the procedure and legal requirements.
Whilst arranging the funeral we will advise on costs and charges to be incurred culminating in a full written estimate that should be agreed and signed so that you will confident with the funeral commitment you have arranged.

The funeral account is divided into two parts:

The Funeral Directors' charges which include a suitable coffin as selected, the hearse and any limousines required, our professional fees, overhead costs, provision of a 24 hour a day on call rota, completion of funeral arrangements, documentation, conveyance of the deceased to our private chapel of rest and use of the same until the day of the funeral.

The disbursement element which are fees paid by us on your behalf to cemetery, crematorium, doctors, clergy etc.

Relatives and friends often wish to visit the deceased and pay their last respects before the day of the funeral. This can be arranged by appointment.

Hygienic treatment and attendances to the deceased are also considered to be very important to our company. The last time you saw a loved one may have been a distressing memory, perhaps in hospital or for the purposes of identification.  In any event we believe that in asking us to look after a member of your family you would like to be certain that the best that could be done for your relative has been done, whether you wish to visit the deceased before the funeral or not.
