Allan Menzies Funeral Directors
Looking after your loved ones the way we would look after our own

Funeral Costs

We offer a wide range of services and choices. Traditional hearses, horse drawn and motorbike hearses, luxury seven-seater limousines, a comprehensive range of coffins and caskets, environmentally friendly coffins and football or hobby themed funerals.

We can arrange floral tributes, dove release, funeral stationery and orders of service, a variety of urns, cremation caskets and catering for after the funeral. We also stock a selection of memorial jewellery and a range of various keepsakes. In fact, we can cater for almost any request with all those special touches which can personalise a funeral ceremony to reflect the unique personality and interests of the deceased.

Creating meaningful farewells for families is the hallmark of our bespoke service. A very personal service tailored to every family’s needs.

We have tried to make arranging a funeral as straightforward as possible, and the costs and fees associated with the arrangements clear and transparent, so that once the funeral has been arranged and all the details are in place, you will know the costs involved, both for all our services and third-party outlays (Disbursements). The cost of a funeral depends on a number of different factors. Whatever option you choose, we will help you plan a special farewell within your budget
