How much does a funeral cost in Derby?
The typical cost of funerals in Derby typically sits around £2661 with burial constituting 24% and cremation accounting for 76% of the amount of funerals taking place in Derby. 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 'Your Ceremony With Tracey Eastwood' 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 Maria's Flowers (Located on Ingtu Shopping Centre, DERBY DE1 2PQ, Derbyshire) or Quality Florists (Phone number 01332 292916) typically charge approximately between £97 up to £461 for funeral flower arrangements.
