Standardised Price List

We provide complete transparency

Since September 2021 the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has required that all UK funeral directors clearly display a Standardised Price List of basic funeral costs, which you can see below or download in pdf format. While this is very welcome, because it allows you to compare prices between funeral directors more easily, please bear in mind that these prices are for our most basic funerals. In practice, most people will require additional services (such as limousines, printed orders of service, flowers, etc.), which are added costs.

ATTENDED FUNERAL (funeral director’s charges only)
This is a funeral where family and friends have a ceremony, event or service for the deceased person at the same time as they attend their burial or cremation.
