Wigan Crematorium fees
Current cremation fees at Wigan Crematorium, verified against the Wigan Council’s published fee schedule.
Cremation fees
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Standard cremation (attended, over 18) | £960 |
| Weekend cremation (over 18) | £1,440 |
| Stillborn/under 18 cremation | No charge (Children’s Funeral Fund) |
| Public cremation | £338 |
Wigan Council’s published fee schedule does not include a separate family-chosen direct or unattended cremation fee. The £338 “public cremation” fee is for a public health funeral arranged by the local authority where there is no next of kin able or willing to make arrangements — it is not an option families can select in place of a standard service. Anyone wanting an unattended, no-service cremation at Wigan should ask a funeral director directly what can be arranged, as this is not itemised on the council’s own price list.
