Notes:
- The fees listed above are the statutory fees payable. It is stressed that the figures do not include any charges for extras such as music (eg organist, choir), bells and flowers, which are fixed by the Parochial Church Council.
- The fee for a marriage certificate is fixed by the Registrar General. It may be increased from 1st April 2010.
- If a cemetery or crematorium authority has itself fixed different charges for the minister's services in a cemetery or crematorium such charges will take precedence over those specified here.
- 'Monument', here, is a technical term and includes, for example, a gravestone or headstone.
