Costs, Payments & Funeral Grants
Cost of a funeral
To accurately calculate the cost of a funeral, requires a multitude of decisions be made in regard to the many products and services that encompass a funeral service. These include caring for the deceased, organising and conducting the funeral service and facilitating the final resting place of the remains; i.e. cemetery plot and fees, cremation, ashes interment/scattering, plaques and headstones, whichever are applicable.
There is not a one size fits all. Even with package deals, people often want to delete or upgrade items.
How we can help you?
We offer you a no obligation discussion of all the options available and provide you with a written estimate. We keep you up to date with any changes should you choose other options throughout the process. Our aim is to have no surprises when the account arrives in your mailbox.
Payment terms
We operate our accounts payable under normal terms of business. Once we receive the death certificate, we will issue the account to the family or solicitor two weeks after the funeral, with payment due between 4 - 5 weeks post date of death. Should your circumstances limit your ability to adhere to these terms of payment, we are always open to discuss them with you at the time of engagement. You may be entitled to grants, depending on the circumstances of the death, your income and relationship to the deceased. For information about Funeral Grants please see below.
