Attended cremation services usually begin at approximately £1,700. Traditional funerals with all the elements average around £4,000-£4,500 for cremation.

How do I register a death in Exeter?

To register a death in Exeter, visit the Register Office at 1 Lower Summerlands, Exeter EX1 2LJ. Call 0345 155 1002 to book an appointment – this must happen within five days of the death. Bring the medical certificate of cause of death and any ID documents for the deceased. The registrar will provide the paperwork needed for funeral arrangements.

Which crematoriums are in Exeter?

Exeter is served by Exeter and Devon Crematorium. On Topsham Road, the crematorium features a chapel within beautiful grounds with memorial gardens and a peaceful woodland area. We work regularly with all local crematoriums and can help you choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

What is a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is a cremation without a ceremony or mourners present. It's the simplest and most affordable option. The cremation takes place at a time arranged by the crematorium, and the ashes are returned to you afterwards. Many families choose this so they can hold a separate memorial in their own time and in their own way.

What help is available if I'm struggling with funeral costs?

If you're on certain benefits, you may qualify for a Funeral Expenses Payment from the DWP. This can cover cremation fees and up to £1,000 towards other costs. Call 0800 151 2012 to check eligibility – you must apply within six months. For children under 18, the Children's Funeral Fund covers burial or cremation costs.

Can I arrange a funeral without a funeral director?

Yes, there's no legal requirement to use a funeral director. You can handle everything yourself – registration, crematorium booking, transport, and paperwork. It requires effort and organisation, but some families find it meaningful. Contact your council's bereavement services for guidance.
