A funeral can be either a burial or a cremation. The price of A Natural Undertaking Limited'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.
We also provide a page on our website for guests with funeral information and a place for tributes, daily communication as required, consultations and meetings at a place of your choice.
We are members of both the Natural Death Society and the Association of Green Funeral Directors. We believe in offering ethical, ecological and tailored choices. We are not tied to suppliers- we can help create the funeral you want.
