The Masterson Funeral Home joined Daniel Robinson & Sons in January 2021. The business was started in 2003, when Jerome Masterson Dip Fd LMBIFD, decided to open his own funeral home. He ran the business with his parents, Patrick and Elizabeth. The business benefitted from their excellent care, professionalism and dedication, to the bereaved in Old Harlow and the surrounding area. Following Jerome’s passing, Patrick and Elizabeth continued to offer the same high level of service until they decided to enjoy a well-earned retirement. This compact, warm and welcoming funeral home in Station Road, Old Harlow, has full facilities, including a Chapel of Rest. We offer our complete range of services, including traditional and contemporary funeral arrangements, design and production of service sheets, limousines, horse-drawn and bespoke vehicles, etc., to suit your wishes. History The business was first established in 1892 when Daniel Robinson bought a building company in Stansted, where he began to make coffins and to arrange funerals. In 1912 he purchased another in Bishop’s Stortford where he also arranged funerals and supplied memorials. By the year 2000, the company had grown to include offices in Harlow, Great Dunmow, Sawbridgeworth, Braintree and Epping. Today, we help people across Essex and Hertfordshire, with further funeral homes in Halstead, Loughton, Old Harlow and Waltham Abbey. The business is owned mainly by the third generation of the family founder, Daniel Robinson. Gary Neill, BCAv, MBIE, is the Managing Director of the Company and is based at the Head Office in Bishop’s Stortford.
