How much will a funeral cost?

The costs of a funeral fall into three main categories:

• Cost of materials, such as a coffin or coffin cover
• Funeral Director's fee, hire of vehicles, documentation and management of the funeral
• Disbursements such as doctors' signatures on hospital forms, crematorium fees, minister's and church fees (if required).

The ultimate cost will depend on your choices for the funeral and can range from £1,480.
