Thank you for visiting our website which we hope will give you some helpful information on the services we can offer in arranging a funeral for a relative or a friend.

We also list at the bottom of this page some brief information about prices for funerals arranged by Newcastle & Gosforth Family Funeral Services.
Funeral Price considerations.
- A funeral can be as simple or as elaborate as you want and costs vary accordingly,typically a funeral service with a cremation can be anywhere between £1,700 and £2,200 depending on the exact service required.Funeral costs also vary widely from different funeral directing firms.
- The cost of a burial depends on whether a new grave is required or a family plot is to be used again.We will advise you of the options available when arranging the funeral.
- The cost for arranging a funeral is split into two seperate parts. The first is the funeral directors charges and the second is what is paid out on your behalf (disbursements).
- Our service includes providing a choice of coffins for a cremation or a burial service,a motor hearse and bearers to transport the coffin to the funeral service,a number of limousines as required for the family, liasing with various authorities beforehand to enable the funeral to take place and the use of one of our chapels of rest, amongst many other details needed.
- We also provide a fixed price,simple,straightforward funeral at a sensible price and can provide full details on request.This is £1,720 fully inclusive for a cremation at West Road Cremetorium in Newcastle.
