What About Costs?
The costs of any funeral depends upon the extent of the services provided by Traditional Funerals and the quality of the merchandise selected by the family. The person who is responsible for the funeral account is the one who signs the authorisation for the funeral to be conducted.
The three main components in the cost of a funeral are:
- Disbursements. These represent payments made on behalf of the family for such items as flowers, church, celebrant fees, medical fees, the issuing of a cremation permit, press notices, cemetery or cremation fees and catering (if applicable).
- Cost of the coffin or casket. There is a large and varied selection from which to choose.
- Funeral Directors’ service and facility fees. This is designed to cover all of the overhead costs as in any other business. They relate to items such as providing trained personnel, use of facilities, supplying motor vehicles and all other administrative costs.
