Price context
How the fee compares
We only call out alternatives when the published difference is large enough to be potentially useful—not merely a few pounds lower.
Medway Crematorium's standard fee is 22% below the UK database average and 22% below the Kent average. We did not find a nearby published option that clears our meaningful-saving threshold, so price alone is not an obvious reason to change crematorium.
