J. Ribbons Funeral Services

An Independent Funeral Director in Hull 

At J. Ribbons we believe funeral costs should be fair, affordable and transparent. We have provided a breakdown of our funeral prices showing the costs for different elements of a funeral service. We have also provided current prices for the more common disbursements (3rd party payments) so that you can calculate the cost of the full funeral service. Prices for any other crematorium or cemetery can be provided on request. We have provided some examples at the bottom of the page. 

We always try to be as flexible as possible with funeral payments and if needed we can look at implementing a payment plan. This can be discussed in further detail with our Funeral Director.

If you are entitled to a DWP funeral payment, to help with the cost of a funeral service, we will assist with the process.
