The ever caring team from Doncaster Funerals and the kind chaps at Rose Hill Crem were all on hand to help Wendy’s family and friends say a loving farewell. It was hard to see her sons, two of my former students, having to say goodbye to their mum far too soon. A privilege to be able to support them.💞

Funeral Notice
It is with great sadness we share that Alan Finney passed away peacefully on 30th July, aged 91 years.
A much-loved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Alan touched the lives of so many and will be missed more than words can say.
Many will fondly remember Alan’s days as a professional footballer for Sheffield Wednesday, where his passion and dedication shone both on and off the pitch.
We invite all who knew and loved Alan to join us for a Celebration of his Life on Tuesday 19th August at 1:00pm at Memoria Doncaster & South Yorkshire Memorial Park & Crematorium, followed by a gathering at The Glass House, Kirk Sandall to share memories and raise a glass in his honour.
Donations in lieu of flowers are welcome to DonMentia in Alan’s memory.
Rest peacefully, Alan — you will always be in our hearts. 💙⚽

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.
