The Groves Traditional Funeral Service Explained

£1999.00 (Plus External Cost)

For a more elaborate and tailored service, The Traditional Funeral is the perfect choice.

This option is perfect for those wishing to hold a church service prior to the burial or cremation at a

cemetery or crematorium of your choice.

When looking at the cost of a funeral it is usually broken down into two sections. The first section is the Funeral Directors fees, with the second section being the third party fees, often called the disbursements or external cost.

We will remain available for any aftercare, advice, guidance or additional services as required.

Our meetings to arrange the service are available by appointment, 24 hours a day (to include evenings and weekends) and can take place either here at our funeral home or in the comfort of your own home.
