Disbursements are the fees chargeable by all third parties and include cremation or burial costs, ministers, flowers, service sheets, doctors, newspapers, catering etc. An invoice for the remaining account is issued a week after the funeral. Should the balance of the account be outstanding after one month, 1.5% interest per month will accrue. A payment plan can be organised if necessary.

The total cost of a low-cost ‘Basic Funeral’ or ‘Direct Cremation’ package has to be paid in advance. If the funeral is to be paid for by the estate of the deceased, please present the death certificate along with an invoice from the funeral director before the funeral to ensure that sufficient funds are available. Disbursements still have to be paid in advance by the estate, next of kin or executor.

Should you qualify for financial support from the Social Fund (DWP), you will still have to pay certain fees in advance. Please be aware that the Social Fund will not cover the entire cost of a funeral, with a maximum payment of £700 paid towards the cost of our services. They will also cover the crematorium, doctors and ministers fees. All other costs must be met by you personally.
