What will the funeral cost?

Rowland Brothers has over a century of expertise and experience to put at your disposal which means, whatever your budget, we can guarantee a dignified and memorable funeral that you can be proud of.

Our fees include the costs of staffing, arranging and processing the paperwork involved in arranging the funeral, the removal of the deceased from the place of death, the coffin or casket, hearse & limousines, orders of service and so on.

You can find out more about the choices available in our Funeral Services section.

About third party costs

Some of the costs of the funeral are not within our control and are the same whichever funeral director you choose to use. These ‘disbursements’ as they’re called include payments to third parties such as:

• vicar, priest or officiant.
• crematorium/cemetery or churchyard fees
• doctors fees - in the case of cremation
• choir, organist, musicians
• newspaper notices

Naturally, we always give you a full written breakdown of all our costs before you book the funeral.

Go green with a woodland burial
As cemeteries and churchyards reach capacity and concerns about the environment loom larger in our daily lives, our woodland burials are becoming increasingly popular. A woodland burial includes:

• The services of a funeral director, the necessary administration and a full complement of staff
• The removal of the deceased from the place of death to our Chapel of Rest.
• Care of the deceased.
• Full viewing facilities at the Chapel of Rest.
• A solid pine coffin with fittings, three pairs of wooden handles, inscribed name plate and taffeta interior (or another eco-friendly coffin of your choice)
• A hearse and one limousine (seating up to six people).
• An in-memoriam donation to the Woodland Trust
