How much does a funeral cost in Birkenhead?

The typical cost of funerals in Birkenhead typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 22% and cremation accounting for 78% of the amount of funerals taking place in Birkenhead. However, the actual expense for a family can vary based on specific requirements and choices. For instance, if a family prefers a local celebrant, such as 'Unique Celebrant Ceremonies' found on thecelebrantdirectory.co.uk, rather than a minister or pastor, the cost would be higher.

When calculating the overall expenses of a funeral, it is important to take into account the additional cost of funeral flowers. Local florists like It Stems From (Located on 730 Borough Road, BIRKENHEAD CH42 9JF, Merseyside) or Wirral Flower Market (Phone number 0151 6473077) typically charge approximately between £91 up to £466 for funeral flower arrangements.

Even though funeral jewellery, like a cremation necklace, is not typically considered a direct expense of a funeral, it does add to the overall cost. To obtain pricing information about funeral jewellery, we suggest reaching out to Tribalist or visiting their store at Unit 10-12 Appin Rd, Argyle Industrial Estate, Birkenhead.
