A Guide to Funeral Costs

In our opinion, there is so much more to a funeral service than the cost. We feel that we charge a fair price for our services which we feel are second to none. That said, we are aware that some families may be concerned by the cost of a funeral.  This is why everything that we do is put together on a bespoke basis, whether the service is to be very simple or more involved.

There are several national corporate funeral directors that have premises locally, such as the Co-Operative and Funeral Partners (who own Maunders in Paignton, Drakes of Torbay and Torbay & District Funeral Service in Torquay).

Many other providers appear to offer low cost funeral options. Be aware that many of their ‘extra’ charges are significantly more expensive, meaning the price advertised is often far from the price payable.
