Marc Stephens Funeral Service

08/05/2026

At Marc Stephens Funeral Service, we believe every life tells its own unique story.

No two lives are the same, and no two farewells should be either. Whether a family chooses a traditional service, colourful celebration of life, horse-drawn carriage, favourite music, themed attire, or something completely personal to their loved one — we are here to listen without judgement and help create a farewell that truly reflects the individual.

We are proud to care for families from all walks of life across Derby and Swadlincote, treating everyone with the same dignity, compassion and respect they deserve.

Because every person matters.
Every story matters.
Every goodbye matters. ❤️

A huge thank you today to our friends at Elegant Carriages and family for choosing Marc Stephens Funeral Service to look after such an important and personal farewell.

It was an honour to work alongside such a professional and caring team to help create a truly beautiful final journey. The horse and carriage looked absolutely stunning and gave a wonderful gentleman the dignified send off he deserved. 🖤

Thank you once again for your trust and support. Please give Elegant Carriages a follow and tag them below.

Today we are out in Chaddesden helping a wonderful gentleman on his final journey.

As a mark of respect for his wishes and to give him the dignified send off he truly deserves, we will be accompanying him with a traditional horse and carriage for his final journey through the area.

We would like to apologise in advance for any minor delays this may cause and thank the local community for their patience, kindness and understanding at this difficult time for the family.

A beautiful farewell for a much loved man. 🖤

From all at Marc Stephens Funeral Service

🌿 A Simple, Dignified Farewell in Swadlincote 🌿

At Marc Stephens Funeral Service, we understand that not every family wants a traditional funeral. Sometimes, a quieter, simpler goodbye feels right — and that’s perfectly okay.

🤍 From just £1,295

As a family-run, independent funeral director, we’re here to support you — not sell to you. No pressure. Just honest guidance when you need it most.

That Nigel storyline in EastEnders…

It’s uncomfortable to watch.

Because it’s not just TV — it’s real life.

We see it every week across Derby and Swadlincote.

Families left wishing they had more time.
More conversations.
A better goodbye.

And here’s the truth…

When the time comes, you don’t get a second chance to get it right.

That’s why choosing the right funeral director matters.

Not a call centre.
Not a conveyor belt service.
Not a corporate ticking boxes.

But real people.
In your community.
Who care enough to do it properly.

At Marc Stephens Funeral Service, every funeral is personal.
Every family is treated with dignity.
And every goodbye is given the time it deserves.
