How much does a funeral cost in Sunderland?
The typical cost of funerals in Sunderland typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 18% and cremation accounting for 82% of the amount of funerals taking place in Sunderland. 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 Floral Elegance (Located on 158 Chester Road, SUNDERLAND SR4 7EY, Tyne and Wear) or Bethany's (Phone number 0191 5101000) typically charge approximately between £100 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 Swarovski Sunderland or visiting their store at Shop 67, The Bridges Shopping Centre, Sunderland.
