You Are Here > Cost Of A Funeral
As each family is different, there are various requirements in a funeral service so the question of cost is difficult to answer. The extent of services provided will determine the final account. Whether the funeral is simple or elaborate, Tony Hollands Funerals will accommodate any reasonable request. We have attempted to cover most of the costs involved and they are as follows.
- Disbursements are the monies paid by Tony Hollands Funerals on your behalf such as the cremation or cemetery fees, floral tributes, press notices, Death Certificate and minister or celebrant fees to name a few. The decisions made differ for each family based on religion, culture and organisation that they were part of. This sum can be substantial, so we ask these initial disbursement costs be covered by way of a deposit.
- Tony Hollands Funerals Professional Service Fees. Our professional fees are designed to cover the numerous professional services and facilities associated with our role as funeral directors. Including our availability at any hour, day or night, providing highly trained personnel, advice and services. Liaise with cemeteries, crematoria, clergy, newspapers and florists etc. Use of relevant facilities and equipment, supplying specialised vehicles and appropriate labour. Staff training as necessary or as stipulated by industry awards. It also must proportionately recoup our administrative expenses such as wages, rates, taxes, motor vehicles expenses, telephone, light and power, insurances, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, etc. Lastly, a comparable return on the very considerable capital investment demanded by our calling.
- Estate Fee is added to the account if the account is not finalised within 14 days from the date of the funeral service. This is a fee placed on the account by Tony Hollands Funerals to cover ongoing expenses. These expenses include bank charges, taxes and administration fees. If the account is finalised within the 14 days the Estate Fee is removed from the account.
