How much does a funeral cost in Gateshead?
The typical cost of funerals in Gateshead typically sits around £1957 with burial constituting 16% and cremation accounting for 84% of the amount of funerals taking place in Gateshead. 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 5th Avenue Flowers (Located on 5 Valley Parade, Team Valley, GATESHEAD NE11 0EN, Tyne and Wear) or Marjories Florist (Phone number 0191 4691246) typically charge approximately between £98 up to £462 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 Ernest Jones or visiting their store at 36 - 38 Cameron Walk, Metro Centre, Gateshead.
