Funeral costs drop

Funeral costs fell 3.1% to an average of u00a34,056 last year, the Cost of Dying report by insurer Sun Life found. Costs are varied across the UK, and the cheapest type of ceremony - a cremation without a service - rose in price. Last year, funeral firms were ordered to display clearer price-lists for bereaved customers. At a time when prices, in general, have been rising at their fastest rate for years, some families have found the cost of funerals difficult to cover.

  1. Funeral costs drop "Funerals are still relatively expensive, and half of the people arranging a funeral in the last year looked for ways to keep funeral costs down - including choosing a cheaper coffin, spending less on flowers, and having the wake at home," said Mark Screeton, chief executive of Sun Life. Some were also limited in the kind of commemorations they were able to organize owing to the Covid pandemic. There was a notable increase in digital streaming of funeral services to loved ones unable to attend many business listings.
