When you suffer bereavement, a funeral for a member of your family can be the most difficult day of your life. Everything your family and friends ever thought about a loved one is expressed on that day.

As your funeral directors, we are here to help and advise in whatever way we can. We are dedicated professionals who provide a personal service to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We have combined our Funeral, Monumental and Floral Services, so that our clients benefit from our wide range of expertise and experience. At Philip Blatchly & Son, our service and personal attention to the family is everything. All members of staff are trained to look for ways that will improve and help to lift the burden the family suffer in bereavement. This website is an extension to the specialist information that we will discuss with you, it allows you to sit in the privacy of your own home and reflect on the information you have been given, and to raise any further questions you may have about additional services we are able to provide. It is our policy not to impose urgency or apply any undue pressure on you or your family. A funeral is one of the most personal events of your life, and therefore must reflect your ideas, needs and circumstances. This website will reflect our commitment to you and your family.
