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.
