Financial Considerations
When arranging a funeral at Guilfoyle Funerals, we manage payments on behalf of the family. Funeral costs can be broken down into the funeral director’s fee, cost of the coffin or casket, and sundry disbursements.
Funeral Director's Professional Fee
Coffin, Casket Or Urn
The price of a coffin or urn can vary considerably depending on the type of material it is made of, the quality of the workmanship and type of furnishings used.
