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.

Our Promise: We will never upsell our services to you but instead we will provide the funeral you request at the most reasonable price.

Testimonials

Dear all at Penrose,
just to say a big thankyou for all the arrangements you did for my Mum’s funeral, Greta Bower. It’s good to know that in this day and age there are people who can organise and do things correctly, with care and compassion.
Once again thankyou for everything.

From the

Thomson Family - March 2020

I really can’t thank the team at Penrose enough for the beautiful funeral they managed for my dear husband Fred. Especially Nathan for helping us plan the day with such care and dignity.

I met Nathan’s dad Jeremy for the first time when he arrived with the cortege to collect us from home. Immediately I felt totally at ease with this charming charismatic gentleman leading the service perfectly from begining to end.

Thank you so much

from Georgie

I know it’s some time now but I would just like to tell you now much your support and kindness meant to me in my darkest hour of my life. Thank you to everyone who made things so much better than it could have been. My very best wishes to all concerned in my wife’s funeral.

Dear Jeremy, Nathan and Team,

Saying ‘thank you’ doesn’t begin to express how grateful I am for all that you have done for me and for my family.
