Frequently asked questions
Why is this a range rather than a single number?
Cemetery/grave fees and provider costs vary significantly by area. This tool gives a typical range, not an exact quote.
What usually costs the most?
The grave/cemetery fee (especially for a new plot) is often the largest cost. Funeral director services and transport can also add significantly.
Does making a will help with funeral planning?
A will can specify your burial wishes and help your family during a difficult time by making your intentions clear.
