Standardised Price List
Clear, honest pricing. All funeral directors are legally required to publish this price list for a standardised set of products and services. This is to help you think through your options and make choices, and to let you compare prices between different funeral directors (because prices can vary).
Funeral director’s charges
This is a funeral where family and friends have a ceremony, event or service for the deceased person at the same time as they attend their burial or cremation.
| What’s included | Price |
|---|---|
| Taking care of all necessary legal and administrative arrangements | £600 |
| Collecting and transporting the deceased person from the place of death (normally within 15 miles of the funeral director’s premises) into the funeral director’s care | £200 |
| Care of the deceased person before the funeral in appropriate facilities. The deceased person will be kept at Deborah Mitchell Independent Funeral Services Funeral Home, 41 Station Road, Washington NE38 8LY | £350 |
| Providing a suitable coffin. This will be made from oak veneered wood | £294 |
| Viewing of the deceased person for family and friends, by appointment with the funeral director (where viewing is requested by the customer) | £0 |
| At a date and time you agree with the funeral director, taking the deceased person direct to the agreed cemetery or crematorium (normally within 20 miles of the funeral director’s premises) in a hearse or other appropriate vehicle | £200 |
Simple, private options
This is a funeral where family and friends may choose to have a ceremony, event or service for the deceased person, but they do not attend the burial or cremation itself.
Third-party disbursements
These fees are paid on your behalf to third parties such as the cemetery or crematorium, and are separate to the funeral director’s own charges above.
* This fee (sometimes called the interment fee) is the charge made for digging and closing a new grave, or for reopening an existing grave.
Please discuss any specific religious, belief-based and/or cultural requirements that you have with the funeral director.
Additional funeral director products and services
This funeral director may be able to supply a range of optional, additional products and services, or to arrange (on your behalf) for a third party to supply them. Examples include:
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Additional mileage (price per mile) | £1.00 |
| Additional transfers of the deceased person’s body, for example to their home or to a place of worship (price per transfer) | £200 |
| Collection and delivery of ashes | £0 |
| Embalming | £150 |
| Funeral officiant, for example a celebrant or minister of religion | £200 |
| Limousine with driver (each) | £200 |
A note on comparing prices. Funeral directors are required to publish this standardised list so you can compare costs fairly across providers. Prices shown are correct as of the date of publication and may vary. Please confirm current pricing with us directly before making arrangements.
