Funeral costs & options
The cost of a funeral will essentially reflect the personal, cultural and financial needs of your family, and the choices you make.
Gregson & Weight has a flexible pricing structure, which allows families to choose from a range of services and options.
Some people prefer to obtain information on services, options, and prices before engaging a funeral director. All of our offices have trained funeral staff ready to provide obligation-free guidance and advice.
Our specialist Funeral Directors will provide you with an itemised fee proposal, outlining all of the services and costs involved with the funeral that best reflects the life of your loved one and your family’s needs.
To talk with one of our Funeral Directors simply contact your nearest Office.
There are generally four main costs associated with a funeral:
