Gowards Funeral Services Ltd

01/06/2025

Following a post on Facebook yesterday from Cromer and District Funeral Services stating that they have acquired Gowards Funeral Services I would like to state that this untrue.

The transfer of ownership should take place tomorrow - Monday June 2nd when an official statement would have been made by ourselves.

Until the papers are signed the ownership of Gowards remains firmly with myself and Aidan.

And it would have been 59 years this year not 58 !
