Find out how much you could set aside for the funeral you want

Planning for a time when you’re no longer around can be daunting. But being informed about funeral costs can help remove some of that worry, leaving you free to live your life.

How the estimator works

Firstly, it's important to know that it's a guide, not a guarantee. Aviva has checked average funeral prices across the UK to give you an idea of the costs involved. It looks at factors such as your location, the kind of service you want and any extras you choose to include. What you'll get back is an estimate to help you kick off your funeral financial planning.

Selecting where you live from the dropdown will give an estimate of how much a funeral could cost in your area. The reason this is asked is because funeral costs vary across the UK. Your estimate will reflect current prices and third party costs in your part of the country*.

Funeral costs can go up over time, so an estimate today may not cover funeral fees in future years
