Common questions
What others asks before signing up?
How much does a funeral cost in Australia?
A cremation typically costs between $4,000 and $8,000, while a burial ranges from $8,000 to $19,000 depending on location, service style, and coffin selection. Metropolitan areas like Sydney and Melbourne are generally at the higher end. This calculator provides an indicative cost based on your selections — a funeral director will confirm the final cost after discussing your wishes.
What is the difference in cost between cremation and burial?
Burial is typically $3,000 to $8,000 more expensive than cremation due to additional costs for the burial plot, interment fees, and optional headstone or vault. However, if a family already holds a plot licence, the difference may be smaller as only reopening fees apply.
Does this indicative cost include GST?
Yes, all costs shown include GST at 10%. Funeral services in Australia are subject to GST. The breakdown clearly separates the GST component so families can see the pre-tax cost.
Can I add this calculator to my funeral home website?
Yes. The calculator works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and Shopify. You receive an embed code that takes less than a minute to add to any page on your existing site.
What information do I receive when a family completes the calculator?
You receive their name, email, phone (if provided), location, message, and all their service preferences — service type, style, coffin selection, and any optional extras selected. This gives you complete context before reaching out.
Do I need my own website to use this?
No. Every calculator includes an auto-generated hosted page at your own branded URL. Families can access it directly from Google search results or a link you share.
How accurate is the indicative cost?
The calculator uses your own rates and fee structure, so it reflects your actual pricing. However, it provides an indication only — a funeral director will always confirm the final cost after discussing the family's wishes and specific arrangements in detail.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works
How this funeral cost calculator is calculated
This calculator produces an indicative cost only, not a binding figure. A funeral director will confirm the final cost after discussing your wishes and arrangements.
GST handling: Funeral services in Australia are subject to GST at 10%. The calculator includes GST in the total indicative cost.
1
Service type and style
The calculator starts with the base professional service fee and adds a style component based on whether you select no service, graveside, chapel, or full traditional ceremony.
Coffin costs range from basic timber or eco-friendly options through to premium hardwood selections. Each tier has a set price point based on current Australian funeral industry averages.
3
Cemetery or crematorium fees
For cremation, the facility fee is applied. For burial, the calculator adds plot purchase, interment fees, and optional vault or headstone costs. Location type adjusts for metropolitan premium pricing.
4
Optional extras
Viewing, reception or wake catering, additional transportation (hearse and family cars), and death notice publication are each added when selected.
5
GST and total
GST at 10% is applied to the subtotal. The final indicative cost is presented as a range (±22%) to reflect the natural variation in funeral arrangements.
Funeral costs vary significantly based on service type, location, and personal choices. Metropolitan areas in Sydney and Melbourne are typically at the higher end of these ranges.

Sydney and Melbourne metro areas are at the higher end. Regional and rural areas are typically 20–40% lower due to reduced land costs and lower operating overheads.
