Brighton (The Downs) crematorium fees
The Downs Crematorium & Cemetery is operated by Dignity, a private operator — a separate crematorium from Brighton & Hove City Council’s own Woodvale Crematorium, which has its own, different fee schedule. If you’ve seen a £850 standard cremation fee quoted for Brighton, that figure belongs to Woodvale, not The Downs.
