How much does a funeral cost in Winchester?
The typical cost of funerals in Winchester typically sits around £2500 up to £4500 with burial constituting 18% and cremation accounting for 82% of the amount of funerals taking place in Winchester. 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 HeartBee Flowers (Located on WINCHESTER SO21, Hampshire) or Buds 2 Bloom (Phone number 01962 711222) typically charge approximately between £80 up to £455 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 Jeremy France Jewellers or visiting their store at 32 The Pentice, High Street, Winchester.
