Hugh Wade & Son, family owned Funeral Directors, is a well known name in Coleraine and the surrounding areas, but few know the history of the business or indeed the length of time the Wade family have been serving their local community.
The business was founded in 1835 when William Wade, owner of The Royal Hotel in Garvagh and also the proud owner of a fine stable of Belgian Black horses, set up the undertaking business. After William’s death in 1900, his son Hugh carried on both businesses until his death in 1919.
Over time motor vehicles were introduced into the business. This made it possible to extend the area William could operate, and in 1937, William’s grandson Hugh opened a Funeral Directors in the Waterside area of Coleraine. This is where Hugh, father of the current Hugh Wade started out in business at 17 years of age.
Hugh Wade & Son remained at Waterside until 1956 when premises were acquired at the other end of Coleraine in Railway Road. It was here the firm built its very first funeral home as we know them today.
In May 1962, the Wade business moved to its present address in Upper Abbey Street, Coleraine.
Over the years the firm continued to progress, and in 1967, acquired the business of T.D. Macfarlane, which was situated on Church Street, Coleraine.
Hugh’s daughters Charlene and Alison joined the firm in 1992 and 1994 respectively, and later Hugh’s grandson Christopher in 2009.
“Christopher is the seventh generation of our family to join the firm”
In 185 years, Hugh Wade & Son has developed considerably. We feel it’s a privilege to provide the finest, professional and caring service to families in their time of need and our ethos has remained the same since the early beginnings.
