Changes To Average Funeral Costs In The UK

A recent survey (SunLife (2022) Cost of Dying Report) shows that the average cost of a funeral in the UK is now £4,056 – an increase of 121% since 2004.

 If funeral costs continue to rise at the same rate we have seen over the past decade the average funeral will cost over £5,000, in five years’ time.*
