The cost of dying has reached a record high in the UK as Britons struggle to afford to bury their loved ones amid soaring bills.
According to SunLife’s annual report looking at the growing expenses for the bereaved, the average cost has soared to £9,658. This figure, which includes the price of a funeral, professional fees and other send-off costs, is the highest in the 20 years SunLife has been tracking them.
