Costs and Pay Online

The Memorial - Celebration of Life Service has a one-off cost of £350.00. This fee covers all celebrant charges, including the initial meeting, drafting the service, making any necessary changes, and conducting the service on the day of the event. Memorial service costs included 

Please note that funeral service fees will vary for services held beyond a 30-mile radius from NN9 (Raunds, 

Northamptonshire), as there will be additional mileage charges. Furthermore, for venues located over 100 miles away, accommodation fees may apply. 

For further details, please refer to our Terms and Conditions.

The celebrant charges for writing the Written Funeral Celebration Service are £395.00. This fee is paid upon engaging the services of The Shires Celebrants and is required prior to your first meeting. If you are a couple wishing to have both Funeral Celebration Services written simultaneously, we can offer a special rate, bringing the total funeral service fees to £500.00. (This celebrant fee applies per couple, reflecting the memorial service costs.)

The fee for delivering the Pre-Planned Funeral Ceremony is £199.00. This celebrant charge is per person and is payable upon engaging The Shires to conduct your Pre-Planned funeral service at a mutually agreed location, date, and time. Please note that while The Shires handles the ceremony, we do not provide the location, catering, PA systems, etc. However, we would be more than happy to recommend options for venues and caterers to help with your memorial service costs.
