We keep our direct cremation pricing clear, with the collection area confirmed before arrangements proceed.
£1,199 — Local Direct Cremation
For collection within a 25-mile straight-line radius of our Charing base.
The £1,199 price includes:
- Collection of your loved one within 25 miles of our Charing base
- Arranging the cremation and necessary administration
- A basic coffin suitable for direct cremation
- Transportation to the crematorium
- The cremation itself
- Family collection of the ashes, or delivery within 25 miles of our Charing base if requested
£1,499 — Extended Area Direct Cremation
For collection over 25 miles and up to 50 miles from our Charing base.
The same direct cremation service and care are provided; the higher price reflects the extended collection area.
Beyond 50 miles
Collections beyond 50 miles may be possible, subject to BM confirming the arrangements. Mileage beyond the 50-mile radius is charged at £2.00 per additional mile.
Other additional charges
- Delivery of ashes: delivery within 25 miles of our Charing base is included if requested. Delivery beyond 25 miles can be arranged and quoted according to distance.
- Out-of-hours services: prices on request, depending on the time, day and whether a Bank Holiday applies.
