Useful funeral cost guides
What goes into a funeral cost in Newcastle upon Tyne?

A direct cremation is an unattended cremation with no service. It is the simplest, lower-cost option offered by every UK funeral director under the CMA Order. An attended funeral includes a service at a crematorium or place of worship.
