DisburseAssociated Costs & Disbursements

 

There are normally 4 main costs associated with a funeral.

 

1. The Funeral Directors Fee (also called the Professional Service Fee)

 

This includes:

  • Arranging and conducting the funeral
  • Responsibility for all details involved in arranging the funeral service
  • Trained professional staff
  • Registration of death
  • Liaising with Clergy, Civil celebrants
  • Liaising with cemetery or crematorium of your choice
  • Placement of press notices
  • Liaising with singer or musicians

2. Coffin or Casket Costs

 

Firstly the difference between a coffin or casket is the shape. A coffin tapers towards the foot end whereas a casket is rectangular in shape. We have an extensive range of coffins and caskets and these can be made from particle board, custom wood through to solid timber or metal.

 

3. Cemetery or Crematorium Costs

 

Cemeteries and Crematoriums all have their own set of fees and charges and each differ from the other. Depending on which Cemetery is chosen and whether it be a burial or cremation will determine the cost.

These are normally items which are chosen by the family and we pay these costs on your behalf.
