How much does a funeral cost in Minehead?

The typical cost of funerals in Minehead typically sits around £2519 with burial constituting 15% and cremation accounting for 85% of the amount of funerals taking place in Minehead. 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 'The Complete Celebrant' found on thecelebrantdirectory.co.uk with 19 Reviews, 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 The Bloom Room (Located on 4 Floyds Corner, The Parade, MINEHEAD TA24 5UF, Somerset) or The Orange Pip Florist (Phone number 01984 632323) typically charge approximately between £91 up to £460 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 The Geeky Piercer at Hold Fast Body Arts or visiting their store at Hold Fast Body Arts, Minehead.
