Our funeral service

The City of Cardiff Council can provide residents of Cardiff with a professional, dignified funeral service at a lower cost to many private funeral directors in the city.

The standard funeral arrangements covered by the Cardiff Council Funeral Service are:

Collection of the deceased from within Cardiff.
Light oak or dark oak veneered coffin, furnishings and fittings.
Preparation and dressing of body.
Viewing in Chapel of Rest.
Hearse and one limousine.
A dignified funeral service.

This service is only available where the deceased is a Cardiff resident and the funeral is to take place in a council managed cemetery or crematorium.
