ADDITIONAL FUNERAL DIRECTOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES This funeral director may be able to supply a range of optional, additional products and services, or to arrange (on your behalf) for a third party to supply them. Examples include:
Additional mileage (price per mile)		£1.50
Additional transfers of the deceased person’s body (e.g. to their home, to a place of worship etc.) (price per transfer)		£300
Collection and delivery of ashes		£25
Embalming		Prices on request
Funeral officiant (e.g. celebrant, minister of religion etc.)	£250
Services supplied outside of normal office hours	Prices on request

The funeral director can give you a full list of what they can supply. They are likely to charge for these additional products and services, so you may choose to take care of some arrangements without their involvement, or you can use a different supplier. This fee (which is sometimes called the interment fee) is the charge made for digging and closing a new grave, or for reopening and closing an existing grave. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, you will usually need to pay doctors’ fees as well. This is the charge for two doctors to sign the Medical Certificates for Cremation.
