Fees verified 2026-09-08 against Cumberland Council’s official “Fees and Charges 2026-27” schedule (effective 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027), which supersedes an older figure previously sourced from a funeral director’s price list. 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.
