How much does a funeral cost in Colchester?
The typical cost of funerals in Colchester typically sits around £3111 with burial constituting 16% and cremation accounting for 84% of the amount of funerals taking place in Colchester. 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 Ralph and Rita Martin (Located on 5c Eld Lane, COLCHESTER CO1 1LS, Essex) or Dillys Bespoke Florist (Phone number 01206 573222) typically charge approximately between £78 up to £470 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 Pandora or visiting their store at 13 Culvers Square, Colchester.
