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.

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.

Testimonials

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

WOW…What an amazing team!

Thank you Brendon and Kevin for your sympathy, kindness and compassion when you took Cliff into Penrose’ care.

Thank you Nathan for arranging the funeral, it was perfect in every way.

Thank you Jeremy for completing the Order of Service and for leading the funeral in such a respectful, dignified and professional manner. We cannot express how much this meant to us as a family.

Thank you Edward and Paul for your support, respect and kindness on the day of the funeral. Edward, you offered your coat to our mum as she looked cold and Paul, you were so kind talking about the dogs outside our house before we left, the dogs were a big part of Cliff and are so important to the family, so this gave us comfort knowing that they had been recognised.

We have no hesitation in recommending your services to our family and friends.

All of you made a very sad day more bearable. We sincerely THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts,

Kindest wishes

Carole, Darren and Ruth Wingrove - January 2020
