Cemetery Fees
Cemetery fees are subjective to each borough, but are usually classed as Resident or Non-Resident. The resident fees are cheaper (up to 50%) and are usually based on the residency of the person who has died. Proof of residency is required by the cemetery. We can advise once we know all the details.
Important: When purchasing a burial plot at a traditional cemetery, the council will charge both grave purchase and interment fees. If you are opening an existing grave you have already purchased, just the interment fee applies. We can advise.

If payment is being made through the deceased family member’s bank account or solicitor we appreciate this can sometimes take longer and we would need to see proof that the payment request has been submitted and is in progress.

NATURAL BURIALSTANDARDISED PRICE LIST
(REQUIRED BY LAW)
The Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation into the funeral industry in 2018, partly due to a lack of price transparency when packages were being sold (a large part of the funeral sector is corporate-owned), which made it difficult for a family to compare prices or to know what was included.
One outcome of this investigation is that every funeral director now has to provide a standardised price list for an attended funeral, set to a specific format set by the CMA, published as a downloadable PDF.
The standardised price list format is for a traditional style of attended funeral so the prices we show are for a traditional hearse, oak veneer coffin and chapel of rest visit.
Our Personalised and No Fuss Farewell funeral prices listed above meet the needs of families looking for a simpler or more modern funeral, options are all transparently itemised and priced.
