Funeral arrangements in Pakistan: what they cost and how to book

Updated 4 November 2026

A full burial in Pakistan can cost between Rs 50,000 and Rs 100,000, including the grave, supplies and washing, while a standard funeral flower arrangement starts from about Rs 13,000. Costs vary by city, cemetery and service, so the quickest way to current prices is to describe your needs in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules you must meet within days

Pakistani regulations, as quoted in a foreign embassy's guidance, require that a deceased person be buried, cremated or embalmed within 72 hours of death, so the arrangements need to start at once. Local guidance on paperwork names the death certificate and the deceased's ID card (CNIC). Ask the cemetery or the funeral service which papers they want before the day.

Season and the heat

The climate is desert: summers are very hot from May to September, and winters are mild from November to March. Because a burial must happen within three days, summer heat makes quick decisions harder, so keep a list of cemeteries in your city ready before you need it. November is a mild month, and a good time to compare services, since you will rarely have time to do that in a crisis.

Transport, cemetery and farewell

Burial costs are often quoted in parts, so ask for the grave, the supplies, the washing and the transport as separate lines. Flower sellers in this market deliver to Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, so ask whether delivery reaches Rawalpindi or Faisalabad before you order.

What to write in your request

Say what is needed and when, the city and the cemetery you prefer, and whether the family wants a burial or a cremation. Add the kind of service and farewell you want, whether transport from a hospital or home is needed, whether you need a coffin and supplies, and your budget in Rs. Sellers can then quote the whole service, not a partial one.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo if it helps. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan before it shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price and terms. The buyer's contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. It is free for buyers.
