Director’s fees are our professional fees.
These will be fully itemised but are not standardized. This reason for this is as follows:
A particular service can vary enormously in complexity and the time required, depending on individual circumstances. It would be unfair, therefore, to operate a standard charge for each service. If we did this, then the family whose funeral is relatively easy to administer would end up subsidising the family whose arrangements were more involved and time consuming.
Disbursement fees and services are those elements that we pay for on your behalf so that the funeral can take place. These include cremation fees, doctor’s fees, church fees, burial fees, press notices, catering and printing.
Each fee will be fully itemised within the Disbursement Fees section or the Disbursement Services section. This way you know exactly what we have paid out, and to whom, on your behalf.
Some disbursement services will incur VAT at the current rate.
