Taunton Deane Crematorium fees
Taunton Crematorium has a genuinely useful middle option between the full service and direct cremation: a 30-minute Reflection Service for £495, for families who want a short attended goodbye without the cost of a full 40-minute booking. Direct (unattended) cremation is £450, and includes one piece of music of your choice even without anyone present.
