The estate will likely go through probate, which means the funeral costs can be paid from the estate. You need a probate specialist to make this happen.

Probate might not be needed
That means the funeral costs probably can't be covered this way. But every situation is different — a quick chat can confirm.

Anna Jackson was compassionate and professional throughout the process. The minister, John Taylor, was ideal. The pair of them were perfect for my grieving mother. The whole team at Nicholas O’Hara was excellent. Thank you very much.

Thank you Anna and Team for the service on Tuesday. As unobtrusive and respectful as we have come to expect from Nicholas O'Hara. We were so pleased to see how you dealt with a larger coffin that could have been awkward.
