Planning a funeral can be an emotional and overwhelming experience, especially when faced with the question of “How much does a basic funeral cost?”. Variety Funerals™ understands this concern, and we’re committed to providing transparent information and a range of options to guide you through this difficult time.

Understanding Basic Funeral Costs and Your Options

The cost of a funeral can vary depending on your specific needs and preferences. Traditionally, a basic funeral might include a funeral ceremony at the crematorium chapel. However, at Variety Funerals™ we understand that families have different wishes and budgets. That’s why we offer a variety of basic funeral options designed to be dignified and affordable.

Here’s a breakdown of the core elements that contribute to the overall price of a basic funeral:

  • Funeral Director Services: Our professional team will guide you through every step of the process, from legal requirements to transportation.
  • Basic Service: The ceremony can be religious or non-religious at a crematorium of your choosing. You can personalise it with readings, poems, or music that reflect the life of your loved one. Out Variety Plus package is a low price and includes all these elements.
  • Direct Cremation: A direct cremation involves the cremation without a ceremony, and the ashes are provided to the family. Our Variety Solo package provides you this dignified cost-effective option.

At Variety Funerals™ we believe everyone deserves a respectful farewell, regardless of budget. That’s why we present our basic funeral costs upfront and clearly. We’ll never pressure you into unnecessary add-ons, and you’ll always know exactly what’s included in each package.

Here are some of the ways Variety Funerals™ keeps basic funeral costs affordable:

  • Transparent Pricing: We have standardised pricing for our basic funeral packages, so you’ll know the cost upfront before making any decisions. There are no hidden fees, and our itemised quotes clearly outline exactly what’s included.
  • Personalised Touches Within a Budget: Even within a basic funeral framework, there’s room for personalisation. You can choose to add flowers, a memorial video, or a printed program to create a more unique tribute to your loved one.

Additional Considerations for Basic Funeral Costs

While a basic funeral package from Variety Funerals™ offers a cost-effective solution, there may be additional factors to consider:

  • Cremation Facility Fees: These fees are separate from funeral home services and vary depending on the location and type of service chosen – many crematoria offer cheaper rates for attended services held before 10am. We can help you navigate these costs and find options that fit your budget.
  • Death Certificate: Obtaining official copies of the death certificate typically incurs a small fee. The cost per certificate in England and Wales is £11.
