How much does a funeral cost in Canterbury?
The typical cost of funerals in Canterbury typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 24% and cremation accounting for 76% of the amount of funerals taking place in Canterbury. 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 Marlowe Florist (Located on 19A St. Margarets Street, CANTERBURY CT1 2TH, Kent) or The Kings Mile Florist (Phone number 01227 472154) typically charge approximately between £96 up to £474 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 Luke Goldsmith Jewellers or visiting their store at 6a St. Peters Street, Canterbury.
