How much does a funeral cost in Oxford?
The typical cost of funerals in Oxford typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 20% and cremation accounting for 80% of the amount of funerals taking place in Oxford. 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 'Weaving Memories' 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 Bicycle Blooms (Located on 138 Magdalen Road, OXFORD OX4 1RJ, Oxfordshire) or Bloomin' Chic (Phone number 01865 236450) typically charge approximately between £97 up to £463 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.
