Funeral costs. We are completely transparent in our pricing
Welcome to our funeral costs page, which we hope you will find clear and transparent. We set out our costs for cremations, burials, direct cremations and low cost funerals.
We are proud to be awarded Fair Funerals Funeral Director Of The Month.
Their principals are that funeral directors:
- 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 their most affordable options, including third party costs in initial conversations , within their price lists and on their website.
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 30 days.
