Arranging Funerals Across Derbyshire

Derbyshire is a big county, and families often find that the nearest funeral home is part of a large national group. We offer an alternative: a small, local family business where you speak to the people who will actually be looking after your loved one. We travel to you wherever you are in Derbyshire, and we know the county’s churches, chapels, cemeteries and crematoria well.

Areas we cover in Derbyshire

We regularly arrange funerals for families in Allestree, Duffield, Belper, Mickleover, Darley Abbey, Quarndon, Little Eaton, Ripley, Heanor, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Ashbourne, Spondon and the wider Derby area. If you are not sure whether we cover your village, just ask; the answer is almost always yes.

Derbyshire crematoria and cemeteries

We arrange services at Markeaton Crematorium in Derby, Amber Valley Memorial Park and Crematorium, and Bretby Crematorium near Swadlincote, along with other crematoria in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire on request. We also arrange burials in council cemeteries, natural burial grounds and village churchyards across the county.
