Don’t Needlessly Overpay for a Funeral in Airdrie or Coatbridge

Every life is unique and we believe that the way we commemorate them should be too.

We understand that you want the best for your loved ones and that is why we choose to charge less for our award winning services, so that you can do much more for them at an affordable price such as floral tributes, memorial stationery and jewellery.

Our cost includes all the essential services required to look after your loved one such as bringing them into our care any time – day or night- as well as preparing & dressing your loved one in your choice of clothes. Many funeral directors often hide these costs but amazing some don’t even include the cost of a coffin.

That is why we have created the comparison table that shows the true price of local companies for the services that most families want.

Price Comparison

The table below is a comparison on the many peoples idea of traditional funeral which contains all the essential funeral director services, a quality wood effect coffin, a hearse and at least one family limousine:

Testimonials

If I could award more stars I would. Fosters Cumbernauld has been absolutely fantastic, and I would like to specifically mention Yvonne who was an amazing help and support to us throughout everything. Such a difficult time and with the current pandemic only making it harder, you were wonderful. Yvonne is a total credit to Fosters and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and use them again in the future.
