Funeral Services Fees

For someone who is either the next of kin or a representative of a person who has died I can offer you the following services after the death of the deceased.

Funeral Assistance

25€ per hour – this will include:

Assistance from your first call, either meeting with you or liaising by telephone and email to help with all of the paperwork concerning the death, phone calls/emails to your chosen funeral director in France. If repatriation of the deceased is desired this will include liaison with the funeral directors in the United Kingdom and any associated parties.  

Planning and taking the service for you in a crematorium

25€ per hour – this includes discussing with you the type of service you require,  travelling expenses to the crematorium, arranging any music for you, composition of an eulogy, liaison with the crematorium for dates, times and general advice.  Alternatively I can forward your ‘funeral arrangement form’ to the funeral director of your choice for them to quote, e.g. someone living outside the Midi-Pyrenees area, where using this service would not be financially practical. 

Preparation of Service sheets/Celebration of Life

25€ per hour – this will include the preparation and finished product to suit your requirements in English, French or both combined.  Individual copies 1€ each

Seminars and small informal group meetings

Advice on the procedures, laws and practical advice on death, funerals and aftercare.

25€ per hour – this includes travelling expenses to the location, and handouts to all participants.

"In the event of my death" plan

150€ per person, 250€ per couple (if taken out at the same time)
