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.

Arranging a funeral in Sidcup

Sidcup sits on the south-western edge of the borough, and funeral directors here draw families from Blackfen, Foots Cray, New Eltham and over the boundary into Chislehurst and Bromley. Premises are concentrated on and around Sidcup High Street, within walking distance of the station, which matters when relatives are travelling in to help make the arrangements.

Families using a funeral director in Sidcup also commonly come from Blackfen, Foots Cray, New Eltham, Bexley Village. Sidcup Cemetery serves the district and takes cremated remains plots; Hillview Cemetery is the borough's only cemetery still open for new earthen burials.

Getting to the crematorium from Sidcup

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 2.5 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 Sidcup

Sidcup is the western edge of the borough, close to both the Bromley and Greenwich boundaries, so families arranging from the High Street branch have a genuine choice of crematorium. Eltham Crematorium in Falconwood charges £1,273 for a 90-minute service, £1,068 for 45 minutes, £945 for the early slot and £250 unattended. Beckenham Crematorium on Elmers End Road, which is privately run by Dignity, is the other option within easy reach and prices independently.

Sidcup Cemetery is the council burial ground here, and it is one of the two Bexley cemeteries that still take public earthen graves — £780 for an adult resident against £3,040 for a non-resident, or £425 and £725 respectively for a child.

The residency question is unusually sharp in Sidcup because of how close the borough line is. Bromley charges £2,357 for a 60-year grave lease for its own residents and £9,423 for everyone else. A postcode a mile away can therefore change the burial bill by several thousand pounds, and no funeral director's price list will warn you about 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.
