What Glasgow Independent Funeralcare publishes

The figures below are from Glasgow Independent Funeralcare’s own published prices. Third-party fees, such as cremation, cemetery and officiant fees, are extra unless a figure explicitly says they are included.

Unattended (direct) cremation

A private cremation with no service and no mourners present.

£699

Glasgow Independent Funeralcare’s unattended cremation. This figure includes the cremation fee.

  • The funeral director’s fees and the crematorium fee, in one figure
  • Collection and care of the person who has died
  • All necessary legal and administrative arrangements
  • A simple, dignified coffin
  • Cremation without a service; ashes returned to the family

Attended funeral

An attended funeral. The funeral director’s charge only.

£1,251

  • Care of the person before the funeral (£100)
  • A fully lined and fitted wood-effect coffin (£100)

Traditional funeral with burial

A fuller funeral with burial. For a fixed price, see the named burial packages below.

By quote

For a fixed-price traditional burial, see this firm’s named burial packages (£2,300–£3,150, interment fee included). Built up from the Standardised Price List instead: the attended funeral (funeral director’s charges, for a cremation or a burial) is £1,251; a burial adds the interment fee, which the price list gives as £950–£2,301, with a typical local-resident cost of £950–£1,050, plus the cost of a plot where required.

A burial built from the Standardised Price List would involve

  • The attended-funeral services above (funeral director’s charges £1,251)
  • The interment fee, charged by the cemetery (£950–£2,301; typically £950–£1,050 for local residents)
  • The cost of the lair (grave), where a new one is required
  • Any additional limousine or other optional services — price on request
