Each funeral we carry out, is bespoke and is tailored to the instructions we receive from you as a family. Therefore, each funeral will have its own costings. Which will be provided to you, once we have all the relevant information. We will supply a full itemised estimate of costings to you before the funeral takes place.
Please remember this is only an estimate and some costs can vary. The estimate will show the cost of our services and the third-party costs (disbursements).
Disbursements are paid out by us on your behalf, this includes costs such as the crematorium or cemetery fees, doctors’ fees, officiants fees, press notices, floral tributes, catering, stationery and any other services.
Subsequently, we do require at least 50% of the estimate to paid prior to the funeral taking place, and the balance to be settled on the receipt of the final invoice.
If there is a funeral plan is in place, please kindly supply the details of which, we will contact the plan provider.
