Third-party funeral fees, also known as disbursements are charges for essential services not provided directly by the funeral director. These include costs for the crematorium, cemetery, minister, or doctor, as well as fees for burial plots, church services, and organists. Because these are paid to outside providers on your behalf, disbursement fees should be settled in advance of the funeral. These expenses are listed separately on your final bill.

All funeral directors are legally required to publish this price list for a standardised set of products and services. This is to help you think through your options and make choices, and to let you compare prices between different funeral directors (because prices can vary).
