How much does a funeral cost in Braintree?

The typical cost of funerals in Braintree typically sits around £3671 with burial constituting 25% and cremation accounting for 75% of the amount of funerals taking place in Braintree. 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 'Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant' 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 Bernard Chapman (Located on 31a Bank Street, BRAINTREE CM7 1UG, Essex) or Fleurtations (Phone number 01376 323194) typically charge approximately between £88 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 Finchingfield Antiques or visiting their store at The Green Finchingfield, Braintree.
