What costs are involved in a funeral?

If you're planning a funeral, it's good to know what kinds of costs can be involved.

Exactly how much a funeral costs depends on many factors. A basic funeral in Brisbane can cost between about $6800 – $15,000, so it's important to think carefully about which Funeral Director you will choose.

Costs associated with a funeral may include:

• Funeral celebrant

• Funeral director fees (these vary considerably)

• Transfer of deceased

• Embalming or other mortuary preparation

• Casket or coffin

• Visitation or viewing, including staff and facilities

• Chapel/church fee

• Printed booklets for the service

• Purchase of grave (plot) site, if having a burial

• Grave opening & closing fees

• Graveside service, including provision of staff

• Hearse

• Livestreaming

• Flowers

• Plaques or headstones

• Photographic tribute

• Cremation fee

• Catering/refreshments for after the service.

• Provision of Death Certificate (and copies)
