our funeral costs
Funeral costs
We accommodate every family that we meet, and as every family is different, so will be their requirements. So as no funeral is ever the same, nor are the costs. To give you some idea as to what the costs will be we have given some inclusive options below as a guide for you. And because we are independent of any large corporation or co-operative and have no share-holders to satisfy we can be flexible and work within a certain budget if needed. Please ask and we will help all we can to accommodate you.
We never turn a family away and we will never put you through a credit score application as others do.
It is important to stress that the level of service remains the same, whatever style of funeral you choose to have. Our commitment to the highest care for you and the and your loved one is of the highest importance to us and nothing short of absolute.
By Law we are required to publish a standardised set of products and services.This is to help you think through your options and make the right choices. As prices can vary between funeral directors you can accurately compare between prices.

The Victorian Style Horse Drawn Funeral Service. Burial or Cremation. From £3995 plus fees
This type of funeral contains all the elements of our Traditional Service but with the use of a Victorian-style, black or white glass sided hearse pulled by a pair of Belgian Black or white Lipizzaner horses and driven by an authentically dressed whip and groom. Your loved one will be taken to their final resting place in what is probably the most elegant means of transport available. This option is very much in demand from those with an equestrian background or by those simply with a love of horses or just for those wanting something that little bit special. Our glass hearses are modelled on the old Marston of Birmingham design and are built with modern day safety features enabling a safe and secure passage
