Fawcett and Hetherington Funeral Service is a family owned & run company offering the highest Service and Compassion
In October 2010, we combined both offices and opened a purposely designed Funeral Home out of a former Public House on Eston High Street called King George House, we did this so that we could concentrate our efforts on providing a personal and comforting service in times of need. All our permanent staff are made up of family Members, because of this we can offer a complete, personal and professional service. We have 7 Chapels of Rest, 2 of which were specifically designed for disabled access. We have a Service Chapel in which we can hold small Funeral Services and other activities, if you would like to use this facility then please contact us. We have a fleet of Jaguar funeral vehicles and can also supply a Horse Drawn Hearse if required. We are the only Funeral Service in the Tees Valley area to offer The Coffin Cover which is a low cost, sustainable and dignified alternative to a traditional coffin. We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and abide by its Code of Practice. Our staff are also members of the British Institute of Funeral Directors and The British Institute of Embalmers and we also abide by their codes of practice.

We also have a service chapel in which we can hold small Funeral Services and other activities. For example we have used the Service Chapel to hold a Naming Ceremony for Henry (our youngest addition to the Fawcett Family), a yoga class and an afternoon fundraising tea.
