The funeral can be paid for:
- from a financial scheme (pre-paid funeral plan or insurance policy) the deceased had
- by you or other family members or friends
- with money from the person's estate (grant of representation or probate)
You may be able to get help from:
- a private or personal pension scheme the deceased had that pays a lump sum to help with funeral costs
- a trade union, professional body or a provident club which pays a benefit when a member dies
- a life insurance policy taken out by the deceased which pays a lump sum if someone dies before a certain age
- a funeral payment if you're on low income
Visit GOV.UK for more information on funeral payments.
Funeral costs can include:
- funeral director fees
- things the funeral director pays for on your behalf (crematorium or cemetery fees, or a newspaper announcement about the death)
- local authority burial or cremation fees
Funeral directors may list all these costs in their quote.
