Transparent Costs

Following a CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) review into the practices of the funeral industry, from 16th September 2021, every Funeral Director must now produce a full price list, allowing everyone a fair opportunity to compare their costs

For example, an attended funeral (funeral directors charges only):

H C Townsend & Son – £1,290

Co-op Funeral Care – £1,895

Dignity Funerals (Goods of Harrogate) – £1,995

WM. Dodgson & Son (Funeral Partners) – £2,795

Mrs M.T

My Mother Heather, sister Jane and I would like to thank David, Anne and Alex for their amazing care and guidance in arranging Dad’s funeral. They have been acutely professional, yet at the same time compassionate, respectful and incredibly patient. Every aspect and option was carefully explained and carried out. We simply cannot thank you enough.
Mrs C.M

This company came very highly recommended to us by a friend who had used their services on two occasions. Having never organised a funeral before I was a complete novice, from the first moment I spoke with David I knew we were in good hands. I can highly recommend this family run service.
Mr C.L

Obviously, the fact you are needing to utilise the services of funeral director means it is highly upsetting and stressful time. David and his wife were absolutely brilliant. From initial contact to the day of funeral and arrangement of cremation, HC Townsend made it as stress free as possible. Thank you
