The plot has been bought but that would not have included headstone removal, it's storage or amendment to include the additional name. Somebody has to pay so obviously that would be for the executors of the Will to arrange with the cost coming out of the deceased person's estate. In all probability the cemetery would not allow any Tom, Dick or Harry to remove a headstone so my guess is that the charge is fixed by the cemetery authority who would use their own staff. As for storage and amendment to the headstone that is a separate issue but my guess is that the £165 relates to a fixed cost outside the Funeral Director's control.
