How much will a Funeral cost?

Choosing Best Funerals and our local funeral directors will ensure you receive the exact funeral service you and your family want for the right price.

What to Expect

The cost of a funeral can vary, depending on the type of service you choose, where it takes place, and any extras you add. With a BEST Funeral Director, you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for and will always be in control.

Burial or Cremation Costs
You will need to pay for the burial or cremation itself.
– A cremation at Rushcliffe Oaks can cost from £1,050.

There are hundreds of ways in which you can personalise the day with extra services – such as alternative coffins, additional transportation, flowers, a minister or celebrant to lead the service, catering at a wake, service stationery, a memorial, and more.
These services are ultimately optional, and your BEST Funeral Director will explain all costs clearly before you make any decisions.
