You may be wrong for thinking that cheap funerals are under threat as interment costs at cemeteries in Staffordshire will jump a further 13 % from January 2012, under policy exposed today and reported on in the Express and Star local newspaper, despite having increased rapidly in the previous four year period ever since 2007. A family run, independent funeral director in The Walsall area is determined to put forward simple funerals so they have a funeral service offered to fit each budget in these tough fiscal times, in an effort to switch the upward pattern.
The projected increase, at cemeteries run by Stafford Council, in Stafford and Stone – which is nearly 3 times the existing rate of inflation – comes as a 12,000-plot cemetery in Great Wyrley seems ready to be given the green light by the same council.
If the planned price hike is agreed, the cost for an interment will rise from £754 to £850 within the next few weeks. During the four years from 2007 fees have risen a staggering eighty three percent, from £464, putting an end to cheap funerals as we once knew them.
Meanwhile members of South Staffordshire Council give the impression of being set to allow a brand new cemetery in Upper Landywood Lane, Great Wyrley, to alleviate a lack of burial room here in Staffs., however this is not expected to signal a return to similar level of simple cremation charges we had back in 2007.
The projected rises in so called bereavement charges in Stafford borough will be debated by the regional council. As well as burial fees at the grave yard in Tixall Road, Stafford, and off the A34, Stone Grave yard, cremation, funeral and chapel cost will also rise under the plans.
Use of the chaple will go up more than a fifth from £62 to £75, Saturday funeral service surcharges will climb to £477 from £426.50 and a low cost funeral will cost 7 % extra throughout the week.
Stafford Borough Council spokesperson Will Conaghan said the authority’s bereavement costs were among the lowest countrywide, but soaring energy charges for amenities such as the crematoria and chapel structures had stretched Stafford council budgets to the limit, he added.
“We do all we can to keep those costs down, without dropping an award-winning bereavement service, for citizens in Staffordshire in what's always a hard time” he said.
“But unfortunately outside conditions like bigger energy costs have an influence on the outlay of running those services” he added.
Support could be on hand in the shape of a "cheap funeral directors" low cost funerals service which really provides cheap funerals. Although this "simple cremation" alternative might not be for every person, it does offer those struggling to get hold of the cash for a more traditional funeral service the way of giving a loved one the expert and dignified send off they deserve without placing an unlimited strain on their own funds.
The proprietor of the family owned, family run, local funeral directors said "We completely appreciate the strain being placed on home budgets during the current fiscal down turn and really want to help out those people of Cannock communities who lose a loved one. We've devised a simple funeral that offers the same levels of expert service you would expect from an undertakers of our experience and standing in the local community, but not including all the high-priced "extras" that may well be deemed wasteful by many who are really struggling to make ends meet." "We are aware of the constraints on council budgets but working class budgets are also under considerable demands" he added.
