Compare today’s rates with how much a funeral could cost in ten years’ time
Firstly, it’s important to know that it’s a guide, not a guarantee. We’ve done our homework and checked average funeral prices across the UK to give you an idea of the costs involved. We’ll look at factors such as your location, the kind of service you want and any extras you choose to include. What you’ll get back is an estimate to help you kick off your funeral financial planning.
And with funeral fees increasing with inflation, our calculator will also work out how much the same service may cost in ten years’ time.
A funeral that costs £4200 today could cost around £5120 in 10 years’ time, assuming an increase of 2% per year
If things were to increase by more than 2%, the increase in price would be greater.
For example – In ten years’ time a funeral costing £4200 in 2024 would cost
£5644
if the inflation rate was 3%
£6217
if the inflation rate was 4%
£6841
if the inflation rate was 5%
