How much does a funeral cost in Ludlow?

The typical cost of funerals in Ludlow typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 25% and cremation accounting for 75% of the amount of funerals taking place in Ludlow. 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 'Top Note Ceremonies ‘At Your Service’' 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 Florabunda (Located on 152 Corve Street, LUDLOW SY8 2PG, Shropshire) or Twig's Flowers & Gifts (Phone number 07522 139 928) typically charge approximately between £77 up to £455 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 La Jewellery.co.uk or visiting their store at Dove House, No3, Raven Lane, Ludlow, Shropshire SY81BW, Ludlow.
