Funerals for people who had worked in the legal sector accounted for 15 percent of funerals that cost over the national average of £3,600.

Former health workers placed second for above average funeral spending, accounting for 13% of expensive funerals, followed by those who had military careers (11 percent), those who worked in the finance sector (eight percent) and former educators (six percent).
