Crematorium fees are set by the operator and change each year, and many crematoria charge less for early-morning or unattended slots. Funeral directors must show local crematorium fees on their standardised price list. Ask the crematorium or your funeral director for the current fee.

Can the family watch the coffin enter the cremator?

Many UK crematoria let a small number of family members witness the charge — an important part of Hindu and Sikh funerals. Ask the crematorium in advance so they can arrange it.
