​
Funerals - Ranging from £199 - £250
This fee will be in line with the Church of England Parochial fees.
I liaise with funeral directors to ensure the correct pricing. Usually, you would pay the funeral director for my services and they then forward the payment to me. This is so that you don’t have to worry about multiple payments. I am happy with this arrangement but if you felt the need to pay me directly, of course, I would respect that.

Meeting with the chief mourner and your family before the ceremony (meetings may also take place via Zoom/WhatsApp/Google-Meet)
