As funeral directors, we're shocked and saddened to hear stories of families not receiving the care they deserve when they lose a loved one.

We're encouraged to see that the UK Government is making positive steps towards regulation south of the border in the funeral sector.

William Purves can reassure families that we fully support regulation in the funeral industry and maintain the highest standards of care across our regions.
