Prices at Coychurch crematorium in Bridgend will rise by 10.5% this financial year, following discussions by members of the Coychurch Crematorium Joint Committee this week.
The crematorium, which was opened in 1970 to cover the requirement for a cremation service within a 15 mile radius of Bridgend and neighbouring boroughs, has been known for having relatively low prices for cremations and ceremonies in recent years.
However, under the new plans the cost of cremation in the borough will now be brought up to be in line with other charges across south Wales, with an increased cost of cremation rising from £745.70 to £824.00 in 2023-20234. The fee for hiring a chapel for a memorial service without a cremation will also go up from £82.10, a fee that had also been considered one of the lowest in Wales, to £220.00 during weekdays, and doubling to £440.00 on weekends.
