Fees and Charges
Our fees and charges are clearly displayed in our office and we will guarantee to offer our services at reasonable cost, no matter which services you select.
Funeral costs can vary considerably depending on which funeral service provider you choose for the same service at the same crematorium. Usually smaller independent providers like ourselves are much cheaper than any of the large national providers and offer a much more personal service to the families they serve.

TOTAL COST OF ABOVE TYPICAL CREMATION FUNERAL: £2,395.
Although we offer a fixed price service, you can personalise the funeral to your own requirements. There are many options when planning a funeral and we can facilitate all of them. In recent times we have been asked by foreign national families who have suffered a bereavement in the UK about repatriation of the deceased. We advised them that the most cost effective way would be for them to arrange a direct cremation of the deceased with us at a cost of £995 and supply a solid oak or mahogany ashes casket complete with brass nameplate at a cost of £45 plus airline confirmation letter from us. Most airlines will allow the passenger to carry the ashes casket as hand luggage to most European destinations. This is a good example of how families can benefit from just having a simple direct cremation without having to incur unnecessary expense. Though we operate from Glasgow, our services are available throughout Scotland. Please contact us anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, should you have any funeral enquiries and we will be glad to provide any help and advice that you may require.
