THE cost of dying in Britain has soared by 3.8 per cent to more than £9,000, according to a financial service company.
Overall financial costs to be paid when someone dies have increased from £8,864 in 2021 to £9,200 on average in 2022, data from SunLife found.
The research found that although basic funeral costs for services like burials and cremations had decreased by 2.5 per cent since 2001, higher professional fees and extra costs meant the overall price went up.
