The Cost of a Funeral with a Cremation

The Cost of a Funeral with a Cremation

Funerals can be expensive. According to SunLife’s Cost of Dying 2026 Report, the average cost of a traditional attended cremation in 2025 was £4,200. The average cost of a direct cremation (a cremation with no funeral) was £1,628. This can vary substantially depending on the location (even crematoria in the same area can vary) and the type of service.
