Marc Stephens funeral service
From our Family to your family We will never try and force you to buy something you don’t need.

Our small independent and highly respected business has become the gold standard for funeral services. Having now opened my own premises in The local Derby community's I will continue to offer that same professional service and further develop our reputation as one of the finest independent funeral directors in the country

I have many years of experience working with a major funeral director and have conducted hundreds of services. Now with my own business my priority is always to the families I serve and to carry out their exact wishes to the highest standards possible. I completely understand what a painful time you are experiencing and alongside my staff will do my very best to make sure you are given the best advice, which I know will bring comfort at such a painful time. You can be assured my approach is flexible, honest and open and that my attention to detail will ensure that everything goes smoothly. You may have lots of ideas about the sort of service you would like or you may be feeling unsure and looking for guidance .I passionately believe that my company is here to serve families and to offer lots of choice, ultimately delivering exactly what you want. I will always be mindful of your budget. There will be no hidden costs or extras. You will know at the start exactly how much your final bill will be, which I am sure will bring you great peace of mind. When you need me I will be there, ready to offer support, understanding and a completely professional and bespoke service .

Big thanks to everyone who has wished me well while I was in hospital. The offers of help have been truly appreciated — from fellow funeral directors, work colleagues, celebrants, vicars, and everyone else. I’m now at home recuperating, and your kindness and support have meant more than I can say. 💙

Just to let everyone know that Marc, the owner of Marc Stephens Funeral Service, was rushed to Derby Royal Hospital by ambulance on Saturday after experiencing severe stomach pain. This was later diagnosed as a perforated appendix. He underwent surgery on Sunday and is currently still in hospital, recovering.

Marc will need to take some time away from work while he rests and recovers. During this time, Senior Funeral Director Gina and June and the rest of the team will be taking care of things and making sure that all families continue to receive the same care, compassion, and support as always.

Feeling the weight of the empty seat at Christmas this year. Missing someone who should still be here, someone whose laughter always made this season brighter. Holding onto the memories, the love, and the little moments that still warm my heart.
If you’re missing someone too, I’m right there with you.”

At Marc Stephens Funeral Directors, we are honoured to offer families the timeless elegance of a horse-drawn hearse. 🕊️🐴

Whether chosen for tradition, heritage, or simply the beauty of the procession, a horse-drawn carriage creates a truly meaningful and dignified farewell. The gentle pace, the craftsmanship of the carriage, and the stunning horses all come together to provide a moment of grace and reflection for loved ones.

A tribute that is as unique as the life it honours.
