Every Life is Unique – Every Farewell Can Be Too

At Jepson Funeral Homes, we believe that every farewell should reflect the individual it honours. That’s why we work closely with trusted providers to source a range of thoughtful alternatives to a traditional hearse upon request, helping families create a service that truly captures their loved one’s spirit, passions, and personality.

From horse-drawn carriages and motorbike hearses to vintage vehicles and other distinctive options, we can help arrange a farewell that feels meaningful and personal. Whether you’re looking for something traditional, contemporary, or something completely unique, we’ll guide you through the choices with care and compassion.

Funerals don’t have to follow a set pattern. We’re here to listen, support, and help you tailor every detail – from transport to ceremony – to reflect what mattered most to your loved one.

Please feel free to speak to our team about the possibilities – we’re here to help you create a send-off that’s as individual as the person it celebrates.

Our Legacy, Your Trust

As a proud 5th generation family funeral business, we’ve always honored the history and identity of each funeral home we’ve brought into our family. That’s why we’ve kept the original business names above the door – a tradition that reflects our respect for the communities we serve.

To bring all of our funeral homes together under one consistent identity, we’re introducing a new logo for Jepson Funerals Limited. You’ll start to see this logo alongside the existing names of our funeral homes, but we want to assure you:

The names of our funeral homes aren’t changing.
The same compassionate care and personal service will continue.

This logo is simply a way to let everyone know that the Jepson family is behind each of our funeral homes, continuing our legacy of care, compassion, and excellence.

Thank you for your continued support as we honor the past while looking to the future.

The Jepson Family

We know it’s never easy to think about death, and that many people put off planning for their funeral or even avoid it altogether.

And yet there are several very good reasons why having a funeral plan in place makes perfect sense – from an emotional, practical and financial point of view.

So don’t put off planning ahead any longer. Now is the time to get started.

You can reach us over the phone, or pop into your local branch to find out more.
