How Co-op Funeralcare's prices compare in Bexley

At £2,495, Co-op Funeralcare's attended funeral price is about 29% below the Bexley median of £3,495, and cheaper than 13 of the 18 funeral directors we list in the borough.

Prices are the funeral director's own published figures and cover the funeral director's services only. Third-party costs — the cremation or burial fee, the doctor's fees where they apply and the minister or celebrant — are usually charged on top. Always ask for a full written estimate.

Arranging a funeral in Bexleyheath

Bexleyheath is the borough's main town centre and has the highest concentration of funeral directors in Bexley, with premises clustered around the Broadway, Townley Road and Long Lane. That density is useful: families here can realistically get two or three written estimates within a mile of each other before deciding, and the spread between the cheapest and dearest attended funeral in the town runs to well over a thousand pounds for a broadly similar service.

Families using a funeral director in Bexleyheath also commonly come from Welling, Barnehurst, Crayford, Bexley Village. Bexleyheath Cemetery is the local council burial ground, though Hillview Cemetery is now the only Bexley cemetery open for new earthen graves.

Getting to the crematorium from Bexleyheath

There is no crematorium inside the London Borough of Bexley. The council is part of the Eltham Crematorium Joint Committee with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, so most Bexley cremations take place at Eltham (Falconwood) Crematorium on Crown Woods Way. Co-op Funeralcare's premises are roughly 2.4 miles from Eltham Crematorium in a straight line, so ask whether the cortège mileage is inside the quoted price or charged on top.

What a funeral from this branch actually costs in Bexleyheath

The Broadway branch sits in the middle of the borough, which gives families here the widest choice of third-party venues — and the widest spread of third-party fees. Eltham Crematorium in Falconwood is the usual choice for a cremation, at £1,273 for a 90-minute service, £1,068 for 45 minutes, £945 for the 9am slot, or £250 unattended.

For burial, Bexleyheath Cemetery is the council ground closest to this branch. Bexley's grave leases run to roughly £2,320 for 30 years and £3,814 for 50 years for a resident, and non-residents can pay up to three times that. A public earthen grave interment is £780 for a resident against £3,040 for a non-resident.

Co-op's published £2,495 attended fee and £1,445 unattended cremation exclude every one of those charges. A straightforward attended cremation arranged from this branch therefore lands around £3,440 to £3,768 in total, and a burial can comfortably exceed £6,000 once a new grave is bought. Ask for the full written quotation with the third-party fees itemised — the price on this page is one line of it.

Third-party fees above were read from the operators' own published schedules on 7 September 2026. Council and crematorium fees are reviewed every April — confirm the current figure before relying on it.
