How much does a funeral cost in Southampton?
The typical cost of funerals in Southampton typically sits around £3613 with burial constituting 24% and cremation accounting for 76% of the amount of funerals taking place in Southampton. 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 'Wendy Harrington' 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 Little Lillies (Located on 280 Hill Lane, SOUTHAMPTON SO15 3DF, Hampshire) or Flowers Unlimited (Phone number 023 80225345) typically charge approximately between £86 up to £466 for funeral flower arrangements.
