Frequently asked questions
What happens if I don’t have enough money for the funeral?
There are various ways to fund a funeral. A prepaid funeral plan, insurance policy, or savings. Funding from the Government may be available depending on your circumstances.
It’s also important to point out that funerals can be arranged to meet your budget and when you talk to our funeral team, we’ll guide you through options that strike a balance between the right send-off that’s also affordable. Read our 'Funding for a funeral' guide.
What is the major cost difference between a burial and cremation?
There are various factors to consider when choosing burial or cremation. Urban areas where ground is scarce often have higher burial fees and there may be out-of-area considerations. Cremation options may be limited and consequently cost more overall for those who live far away from a facility, but the purchase of ground may be more affordable. Burials will also incur cemetery fees to open existing graves, or to purchase new ground. There are also memorial costs likely to be related to burials for adding inscriptions or to purchase new stones. Cremations are one cost: unattended options do not include a service and attended cremations will include service costs. Ashes are returned within this fee but there may be additional costs to inter or bury these in a grave along with any storage or memorial keepsakes.
Do we have to pay a deposit?
We take a deposit which is a percentage of our professional fee plus any third party costs or disbursements chosen for the funeral. This is payable before the funeral and we’ll explore the exact costs based on your funeral choices.
Who’s responsible for organising a funeral?
Arrangements for a funeral fall to the next of kin or executor who is named, often listed in a Will, funeral Plan of Wishes or prepaid plan. Chosen by the person who’s died, an executor does not necessarily have to be a relation. If there is any doubt as to who the next of kin is, we have a summary of the legal process followed in England and Scotland to determine responsibility. Read our ‘Who is the legal next of kin?’ guide.
This may sound silly…
There’s no such thing as a silly question. We’re here to listen and help you to arrange a funeral with knowledge, insight and guidance. In fact, sometimes it’s that very question that helps shape a funeral that’s “just right”.
