disbursements

Disbursements are the costs of a funeral that the funeral director collects on behalf of third parties, such as doctors’ fees or celebrant fees.

The funeral director will liaise with these providers to arrange the cremation or burial of your loved one and everything else you need for a fitting tribute to them. Disbursements are added to the total funeral bill but your funeral director should provide a clear break down of all of these costs before you agree to them. As these costs are collected for third parties it is important to remember that the prices of the services provided can rise and are out of the control of the Funeral Director. Disbursement fees are payable at the time of arranging the funeral or once a quotation has been provided and agreed.

Disbursements include:

Cremation fee - this is the cost of the cremation itself.

Burial fees - Grave fee - the fee for the purchase of a grave.

Grave opening fee - this is the fee for the opening of a grave purchased or a grave already purchased.

Interment fee

New grave fee

Doctors certificates - Doctors’ fees - a two part form that is required by law to be completed by two doctors in order for a cremation to take place (this fee is not applicable if the death is being dealt with by the coroner).

Minister/ Celebrant fee - a fee for a minister or celebrant to take a funeral service.

Newspaper notice - announcement to be published in the newspaper.

Floral Tributes

Orders of service

Memorial work - removal, re-fixing and additional inscription, including new memorials.
