Choose by budget

What route fits your overall budget?

The crematorium fee is only one part of the bill. These starting points help you choose what to investigate next rather than treating the crematorium fee as the whole funeral price.

Budget under £2,000

Direct cremation is the realistic starting point. Use the decision tool to check whether an unattended option fits your wishes.

Budget £2,000–£4,000

Compare direct cremation with a simple attended service. The funeral director's own fee will usually matter more than a small crematorium-price difference.

Budget above £4,000

A standard attended cremation funeral is more achievable, but itemise the quote and decide which extras genuinely matter to your family.
