What does an N. S. Wibberley funeral cost?

Here are some examples, just to help you start thinking about the cost of a funeral. We’ll work with you to choose options that make the most of your budget.

These are examples only:

How do our funerals work?

We do not have a set of specific ‘packages’ to box you in to preselected options, but instead work with you to create a bespoke funeral which truly represents how you wish to remember your loved one.

Our funerals are made up to four distinct parts:

• Our service to the person who has died
• Our service to you
• Your personalised choices
• Third-party arrangements and charges

These are explained in more detail here:

1. Our service to the person who has died [£500]

Bringing your loved one from their current resting place into our care and looking after them in our state-of-the-art facilities on site in our funeral home right up until the funeral. We will care for them lovingly as if they were a member of our own family, and we will prepare, clean and dress them in any way you ask us to. [An additional £195 is charged for the collection of deceased outside our normal office hours.]

2. Our service to you 

Choose one from the following three options for the level of service you would like from us:

Complete Service [£1400]

All of the Essential & Full Serivces, plus:

• ‘Memory Book Set’: Luxury A4 Hardbacked Memory Book with 35 blank artist-quality ivory cartridge paper pages. Two rigid card signs for use with the memory book, one large one entitled ‘memory table’, and further smaller one inviting guests to record their memories.
• Design and printing of up to 30 cortege notification flyers, so neighbours and/or friends can line the route as we pass with the cortege.
• 10 metal memorial pins from our wide range of designs (more available, priced per set of 10).
• Design and printing of up to 30 funeral announcement (or invitation) flyers.
• Full finger print set taken of the deceased for creation of jewellery and other keepsakes.
• Use of our state-of-the art webcasting facility in our on-site chapel of rest, so friends and family abroad can partake in more intimate moments in the chapel of rest (if desired).
• Our assistance in arranging a gathering (or ‘wake’) in a local venue of your choice.

3. Your personalised choices

The Coffin
Choose from our wide range of different coffins. We have hand-selected a comprehensive choice of coffins from different suppliers all over the country and are proud to present this eclectic range including traditional wooded coffins, various environmentally friendly options, and a number of other options including American-style caskets and personalised picture coffins. Please follow the link at the bottom of this page to see our range. 

The Vehicles
Choose from our range of different hearses and limousines. Our standard fleets are the traditional black motorised vehicles; however, we also have silver and white as well as rarer alternative fleets, and horse-drawn hearses. Please follow the link at the bottom of this page to see our available vehicles. 

4. Third-party charges for the funeral

The third-party charges are any charges from external organisations which, for ease, we pay on your behalf. These might typically include the crematorium or cemetery, as well as celebrants or ministers. In the case of a cremation this will often also include doctors’ fees. These prices are always set by the third-party provider, and we do not add anything to them. They can be very different from funeral to funeral depending on the details you choose, but we will walk you through everything.
