A funeral can be either a burial or a cremation. The price of Leverton & Sons Ltd's basic funeral option does not include cemetery or crematoria fees, also known as 'disbursements', which vary widely across the country.
If you're having a burial you can expect cemetery and grave preparation fees to be between £500 and £20,000.
If you're having a cremation you can expect crematoria fees to be between £500 and £800. Two doctors' signatures are required for cremations (unless the coroner is involved) and these cost £152.
These costs will be in addition to the basic funeral cost quoted above.
