Caledonia Funeral Aid

There is no getting around the fact that the cost of dying in the UK is an expensive business with the average cost of the funeral in Scotland being just under £4000 for a cremation and closer to £4800 for a burial. Added to the cost of the funeral there may be other costs associated with having a wake and with legal fees. This can result in the total cost being closer to £9000.
Nearly all funeral directors in Scotland will expect a substantial deposit of around 50% of the basic funeral cost up front at the time of the arrangement, and 100% upfront for a direct funeral.
