UK CREMATION DATA BRIEF — AUGUST 2026

Cremation Guide maintains 280 active UK crematorium profiles from a structured master database.

HEADLINE FINDINGS
- 279 profiles have a standard attended fee and 268 have a recorded numeric direct or unattended fee in this release; the remaining 12 are marked “Not published”.
- Mean attended fee: £1,042 across 146 local-authority records; £1,181 across 115 private-company records; £1,010 across 18 joint-committee records.
- Published evidence was found for webcast at 163 profiles, wheelchair access at 124, hearing loop at 108, accessible parking at 107, accessible toilet at 103 and step-free access at 85.

LIMITATIONS
- These are crematorium charges, not complete funeral prices.
- Each crematorium counts once; averages are not weighted by number of cremations.
- Ownership comparisons are descriptive and do not establish cause.
- A missing facility status means suitable public evidence was not recorded, not that the facility is absent.
- Prices can change; inspect the row-level source and confirmation date before publication.
