Direct cremation in Durham: from £1,400
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 on top of the funeral director’s charges, £840 locally. Some firms include it in the price below and some add it, so check which applies before you compare two figures.

The attended funeral figure is published as 'From £3,600.00', so treat it as a starting price and ask for a full written quote. This firm's own price list shows unattended burial and unattended cremation at the same figure, £2,995.00, which is unusual, so ask for both to be itemised before you choose between them. Its third-party fees sit below the crematorium's and council's current charges. The price list carries no effective date, so ask the firm how current it is.

Council fees in Durham
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.
