Most rewarding part of my job: “Meeting families and helping them through the grieving process… Trying to make the arranging of the funeral as easy as possible.”
Beveley Johnson

I've been arranging funerals at our head office in Old Swan since 2008 and I've never tired of meeting local families and guiding them through the process of organising and planning a funeral.
Tom Bush

Tom joined us in 2005 and since then has developed into an extremely knowledgeable Funeral Director. Tom is particularly adept at organising complicated or unusual funerals and enjoys the variety of beliefs, cultures and religions that his role brings him in to contact with.

Shelley sees herself as a ‘people person’ and enjoys the daily contact with local people that her role brings .
