Why compare Leicestershire funeral directors?

Funeral costs in Leicestershire vary depending on the type of service, when it takes place and the funeral director you choose. In fact, funeral directors’ fees typically make up around one-third of the cost of a funeral. This shows that comparing options could help you to save hundreds of pounds.

For instance, a direct cremation in Leicestershire will cost a lot less than a large celebration of life. That’s why it’s important to compare prices.
