Funeral costs. We are completely transparent in our pricing
All coffins, cars, burial and cremation costs are charged to you at cost. So you know exactly how much you are paying for the knowledge, expertise and time of our highly trained staff, premises and specialist equipment. We are the only funeral company in Devon to charge in this way and we believe it should become the industry standard. We do not ask for deposits and our standard payment term is 14 days.
We set out our costs for cremations, burials, direct cremations and low cost funerals.
At Heart & Soul Funerals, we:
- recognise that funerals can be expensive and many people struggle with the cost.
- help people to find funerals that are within their means.
- are open about our most affordable options, including third party costs in initial conversations, within our price lists and on our website.

We are working to keep funeral costs down at the same time as providing a personal funeral without the time constraints of the crematorium.
This is a popular funeral choice with us, at a lovely venue in the local environment with less travel needed. And we don’t require you to pay a deposit.
If you want the funeral to be at the crematorium instead of Riverstone the cost is £4,425.
