🕊️ A Message from Doncaster Funerals 🕊️
At Doncaster Funerals, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is one of the most difficult moments in life. Our mission is to provide comfort, care, and guidance every step of the way — helping families create meaningful tributes that honour every life lived.
If you or someone you know is in need of compassionate support or would like to learn more about pre-planning arrangements, please reach out to us anytime. 🖤🎩
We remembered Neil today with a simple and gentle service in Doncaster Funerals’ chapel. Friends and neighbours had shared stories we could include as we celebrated the life of a man who had been a good friend and the perfect son. Mel and I were honoured to support them. 💞

As of 9th July 2019, we are extremely proud that we have managed to help 71 families from Doncaster to afford a respectful funeral service for their loved one.
I must confess that when I embarked on this new project, to provide a new funeral service with a justifiable and transparent pricing structure, it was a leap of faith. From the relative security of employment with a national company and into the unknown outcomes of self employment. Darren (our other director) and I felt that it was the opportune time to introduce this service for the benefit of Doncaster and it’s residents.
The feedback we have received from the families we have helped is amazing and it is filling us with the impetus that we need to carry on with our aims to be not only the best, but the most affordable and ethical funeral director in the region.
As a Community Interest Company we are able to re-invest our profits back into the business to enable us to be sustainable and help many more families for years to come. With our partnership with Ecclesiastical Planning Service (AKA Royal London) we are able to provide a range of funeral planning products to allow you to responsibly plan for your own future without leaving the burden to those left behind. Typically, our funeral plans are between £1000-2000 cheaper than any of our local competitors.
We are also proud to have purchased our first fleet of Mason’s Black Daimler hearse and 8 seat limousine.
As we expand our business and better the services we offer we have opened up the opportunity to employ a Business Administration apprentice from the local area to compliment our existing office and driving staff. In total (including our staff based in Barnsley) we provide employment for 9 local people which is also something we are very proud of.
We officially opened our doors for trading on 3rd December 2018 and have achieved all this in our first 7 months of service to you. I believe this is testament to the fact that the people of Doncaster believe in our mission to drive down the cost of a dignified funeral. With Doncaster Municipal Funerals you can rest assured that your loved one and their wishes will be taken care of in the best possible way and that our affordable pricing structure will not leave you in unmanageable debt as a result.
