Funeral services
Traditional funerals
A traditional funeral is a dignified choice, and we have long experience of arranging meaningful, traditional services for families across East Durham.

A dignified choice for your loved one
We are a family run, independent funeral director, and every service we carry out is completed to SAIF standards. Our priority is to help grieving families in any way we can and to make arranging a funeral as simple as possible.
Our experienced team will take care of the arrangements with great attention to detail, including:
- Flowers
- The reception
- Music
- Newspaper and social media announcements
Classic choices, made personal
We offer a range of classic choices for traditional funerals, including our distinguished silver Jaguar hearse and limousines. Every part of the service can be tailored, so you might choose a religious service and a churchyard burial, alongside something more personal such as a horse drawn hearse or a motorcycle and sidecar.
