Funeral cost calculator

Find out how much you could set aside for the funeral you want

Planning for a time when you’re no longer around can be daunting. But being informed about funeral costs can help remove some of that worry, leaving you free to live your life.


  • Find out the average price of different funeral types
  • Add on extras to personalise your service
  • Compare prices with how much a funeral could cost in ten years time

How our calculator works

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 £5,327 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.

Funeral calculator - 2024=£4,200 2036=£5,327

For example, a funeral that cost £4,200 in 2024, in ten years time could cost:

£5,988

if the inflation rate was 3%

£6,724

if the inflation rate was 4%

£7,542

if the inflation rate was 5%

Let us know where you live to get an estimate of how much a funeral could cost in your area. We ask this because funeral costs vary across the UK. Your estimate will reflect current prices and third party costs in your part of the country.

Funeral costs can also go up over time, so an estimate today may not cover funeral fees in 10 years' time. So, we'll also give you a future cost estimate to help you plan ahead.
