Compare the cost for your circumstances
Headline prices are not like-for-like. Choose the collection and ashes options you need; postcode is used only in your browser and is not sent to us.
What the calculator can check
The comparison treats nation, mainland wording, local-area conditions and unresolved postcode fees explicitly. It does not claim that a national headline price applies to every Birmingham address.
What to tell a provider
- Exact collection address and whether it has mortuary facilities
- Whether collection is urgent or outside normal hours
- Whether ashes should be scattered, collected or delivered
- Whether you need a permanent urn, and any device or size requirements
Official local evidence
Birmingham City Council fee source
Birmingham City Council’s current schedule, effective 1 April 2026, lists an unattended 08:45 direct-cremation slot as price on application and subject to availability. We do not substitute the stale £525 amount still visible in old search results, or add a council cremation fee to a provider package: a national provider may use a different crematorium and its package covers more than the cremation fee alone.
