Paying for a funeral

Funeral directors should be able to offer estimates of costs from the outset.

Funerals are never cheap, but they do not have to be extravagant. Total costs usually start at somewhere just under £1000, but can cost many thousands of pounds.

Note that whoever hires a funeral director to conduct a funeral is responsible for paying the bill; however, the costs can often be paid out of the deceased's estate.

Those in receipt of social security benefits may be able to receive financial assistance from the Social Fund.
