How much does a funeral cost in Wakefield?
The typical cost of funerals in Wakefield typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 16% and cremation accounting for 84% of the amount of funerals taking place in Wakefield. 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 'True To You Celebrancy' 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 Simply Flowers (Located on 61 Northgate, WAKEFIELD WF1 3BP, West Yorkshire) or Flowers at St John's (Phone number 01924 369213) typically charge approximately between £77 up to £460 for funeral flower arrangements.
