Step 2 of 5

Cremation or burial fee

Choose the relevant crematorium or burial option.

Crematorium

The Standardised Price List gives a typical local attended cremation fee of £950 and a range of £950–£1,260. Sirhowy Valley fees vary by service time; the selected fee should be confirmed before arrangements are finalised.

Burial / grave fee

The Standardised Price List states a typical local burial fee of £2,041.11. The additional choices above are published Caerphilly County Borough Council grave charges and should be confirmed for the specific cemetery and grave.

The £1,545 direct cremation package already includes the published cremation fee, so no separate crematorium fee is added here.

Step 3 of 5

Funeral choices and transport

Add any published options that apply. Items already included in the selected package are not charged twice.

Coffin selection

Choose a coffin

The attended funeral charge includes a £430 veneered oak coffin. Upgrade figures above are calculated as the difference between the included £430 coffin and the published alternative coffin price.

The direct cremation package includes a suitable coffin and removal into care. To keep this estimate aligned with the published package, coffin and hearse upgrades are not added here.
