Direct cremation in Burnley: from £1,645
A direct cremation is a cremation with no service and no mourners present. The funeral director collects the person who has died, arranges the cremation at a time set by the crematorium, and returns the ashes to you. You can hold a memorial separately, whenever and wherever you want.
The crematorium charges its own fee. Some firms include it in the price below and some add it on top, so check which applies before you compare two figures.
This firm does not offer an unattended burial. Its local burial fee is published as a range, £1,237.00 to £2,614.00 depending on grave type, so there is no single figure to show here. Its local cremation fee is published as £3,137, well above every other Burnley business's quoted local cremation fee (£745-£1,085).
Trade body membership published on their own site: National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), SAIF Care.
The local cremation fee is published as a range, £850.00 to £1,085.00, and the local burial fee as a range, £525.00 to £1,365.00, reflecting the different crematoriums and cemeteries this branch uses (the price list names Hyndburn, Burnley, Blackburn with Darwen and Craven District), so there is no single figure to show. The registered legal entity is Havencare Management Limited (company no. 01099533), which also trades as Bertwistle's Funeral Service.

Council fees in Burnley
The crematorium or burial fee is set by the council, not the funeral director, and is paid on top of the prices above.
Every price here comes from the firm’s own published price list or the council’s own published fees, with a link to the source and the date it was last verified. Where a firm publishes no price, we say so instead of estimating. No listing is paid for and none can be bought.
