Standardised Price List
A clear and consistent guide to help you understand and compare funeral costs across providers.
Understanding Funeral Costs
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).
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions we are often asked about payments and billing.
When is payment required for the 'None Attended' and 'Simple Cremation' packages?
Full payment is required at least three working days before the funeral takes place for both the None Attended and Simple Cremation packages.
What is the payment policy for other types of funeral arrangements?
For all other funeral arrangements, we require a deposit payment at least three working days prior to the funeral. This deposit will cover disbursements and 50% of our fees. The exact deposit amount will vary depending on the services selected.
When will I receive the final invoice?
The final invoice will be sent out approximately 7 days after the funeral.
How long do I have to pay the final invoice?
Payment in full is required within 14 days from the date shown on the invoice.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept the following payment methods:
- Cash
- Debit or Credit Card
- Cheque
- BACS Transfer
Bank details will be provided on your final invoice.
What should I do if I am applying for help from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)?
Please inform your Funeral Director as soon as possible if you are applying for assistance from the DWP.
Is there a penalty for late payment?
Yes. If full payment is not made by the due date, interest of 1.5% per month (or part month) will be charged. This is calculated daily and compounded monthly until the balance is cleared.
What happens if my account goes beyond the credit terms?
All overdue accounts will be referred to our Debt Collection Agency, Sinclair Goldberg Price Ltd. These accounts will incur:
- A 20% surcharge plus VAT to cover recovery costs
- Any legal costs involved in settling the account
