Costs of funerals
It's worth making sure that there's enough money available to cover the cost of any funeral you may be responsible for arranging. The Council publishes information on the cost of burials.
If you arrange a funeral, you will be responsible for paying the bill, so first check where the money will come from and that there will be enough.
Most funeral directors require payment before probate (the official proof that a will is valid) is granted, so it's worth considering how to pay for a funeral in advance, whether that amount of money will be readily available to you and the various ways the cost can be covered.
The Directgov web site has useful information for anyone arranging a funeral.
