Pricing

From September 2021 all funeral directors must provide a standardised price list to help people compare funeral director prices. The Competition and Markets Authority made this mandatory to help people who need to arrange a funeral. The structure and wording of the standardised price list were provided by the Competition and Markets Authority and you can find the Brook Smith’s Standardised price lists by clicking the button on the right hand side of this page.

You can download a PDF copy of our standardised price list or if you have any special requirements we can price them for you separately.

Pre-Payment Plans

A funeral plan is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance. A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services
such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service. The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.

At Brook Smith & Son Funeral Director’s, we work in partnership with Golden Charter to provide you with a simple way to plan ahead.
