A Truly Independent Family Business

Penrose Funerals Ltd is run by myself and my son Nathan. We are committed to the reality that affordability need not come at the cost of professionalism or care. Our dedication to remaining independent means we can continue to offer a flexible, personal service to our clients and to be a gentle, guiding hand through a difficult time. Our small and dedicated team, along with Nathan and myself, will be there for you from start to finish…and beyond.

Jeremy Van der Pant, Managing Director

Caring for our staff

We believe that caring for our clients starts with caring for our staff. We do not believe in zero hour contracts or paying minimum wage. We do set high standards, but we find that because our staff feel involved, listened to and supported it is they who are also constantly pushing to improve the service we offer. We are convinced that this corporate culture of openness and support is what enables us to provide an exceptionally caring and supportive service for bereaved families and friends.

Thank you for making the worst day of my life bearable.

The difficulties I faced arranging a funeral for my beloved husband were made easier with your empathy, compassion and professionalism, particularly considering the added pressure during the Pandemic.

Love always

To Nathan, Brendan and staff at Penrose Funeral Directors,

On behalf of myself, Marie, Jim, Alice, Ronnie and Maggie we would like to send our heartfelt appreciation for your support during our most difficult time in arranging our lovely mum’s funeral. Your support was just want we needed to get through and all of you were amazing, especially Nathan and Brendan.

Mum had the most beautiful send off anyone could wish for and we as a family would have been lost without you all. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

Once again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts xxx

Regards

My family and friends want to thank sincerely all the staff at Penrose for being so compassionate, professional and sensitive with fulfilling our wishes to celebrate the life of Margaret Rose Shales.

Penrose showed respect taking us through the detailed procedure with personal delicacy enabling us to honour a special woman.

I would highly recommend the family run business, and my father wishes are to use Penrose as he can guarantee a perfect ceremony.

Thank you.
