We wish to provide absolute clarity to families from the outset. Please be aware that the specification for the Basic Funeral Service explicitly excludes: embalming and viewing and limousines.
Our commitment to transparent pricing is paramount. Our total cost for the Basic Funeral Service is £3,000 - this excludes Third-Party Disbursements. These are costs paid to external parties on your behalf and typically include the cremation or burial fees, officiant fees.We will provide you with a detailed written estimate outlining both our charges and the anticipated disbursements before you commit to any arrangements.
