For the second year in a row, the cost of an average funeral in the UK has gone down – but the total cost of dying has actually gone up.
The average cost of dying is £9,200 – up 3.8% since 2021.
The cost of a funeral is now £3,953, down from £4,056 in 2021. However, rising professional fees (such as probate) and send-off costs (such as venue hire and catering) have caused the overall cost of dying to increase to £9,200.
