The person who instructs the Funeral Director is responsible for the payment.
Not always is the answer to this. Some funeral directors will request payment in advance of a funeral. This can range from a few hundred pounds to much more. Please get in touch with us and we can help you find the solution which is most appropriate to your needs.
