Source: Cumberland Council fees and charges 2026-27. Note: Cumberland Council publishes a single shared cremation fee schedule covering both Distington Hall and Carlisle Crematorium – confirmed 2026-08-01 by cross-checking Carlisle’s own registry entry against the same source document. The standard and direct cremation fees on this page apply at both sites; only the early morning slots and webcast fee are Distington-Hall-specific.
