CAREFULLY COSTED FUNERALS

The cost of a funeral in Wiltshire can vary widely, depending on what’s involved in the arrangements and how many disbursements (payments to third party suppliers and providers) are required.

Our funerals are carefully costed, ever mindful of the available budget, without compromising on our main goal of delivering a funeral that fulfils the wishes of the bereaved family and/or the deceased.

We are legally required to publish a price list for a standardised set of products and services to guide you in choosing your options.

This list includes the cost of all the basic legal, administrative, and transportation requirements, as well as things like interment or cremation fees for either attended funerals or unattended funerals.

CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT COSTS

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUNERAL COSTS

After working with you and finalising all funeral arrangements for your loved one, we will provide you with a detailed, itemised estimate of the costs with a confirmation letter.

If you have any questions about the price list or require information about the likely cost of any additional products and services, we’ll be happy to help.

We can also advise you about help with funeral costs, especially for those on benefits or for children.

Two Main Tyes of Funerals

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ATTENDED AND UNATTENDED FUNERALS

The primary difference between attended and unattended funerals is the presence of mourners and a service. To put it simply:

  • Attended funerals (traditional) involve family and friends gathering for a service with the coffin present. These memorials are ceremonial and usually include music, readings and eulogies, led by a officiant, at a formal venue – religious or not – at a time chosen by the family.
  • Unattended funerals (direct cremation or burial) have no service or attendees, focusing on cost-effective, private, and simple cremation or burial on a date and time chosen by the funeral director. Families choosing this option often hold a separate memorial service or celebration of life after the event, arranged by themselves.

Unattended funerals are the more affordable option, with direct cremation being the most economical.

However you choose to bid farewell to your loved one, we aim to make the experience as dignified and respectful as possible, ensuring you are fully informed about all the options available to you and giving you all the support you need to make decisions and choices, with no pressure or stress.
