R W Barrett & Son Funeral Services We are a local independent family firm of Funeral Directors in Newcastle upon Tyne. In 2008 Ronnie, Pat and myself opened our funeral home on the West Road.
(1)

We were confident we could provide the local community with affordable and dignified funerals of the highest standard. Eight years on, thanks to the loyalty of local families we opened our second funeral home in West Denton, and are proud as our family business continues to serve the community.Sadly in August 2016 Ronnie Barrett passed away. He had been a qualified funeral director for 50 years. It has been a difficult few months but after attaining his own qualifications Steven has inherited his dad's ability to deal with the bereaved with empathy, compassion and professionalism. Together with his wife Rachael and a team of conscientious staff he will continue to move forward using all the skills his dad taught him during their working relationship.

In loving memory of my dearly loved Mam Pat Barrett who was taken from us 9 years ago 🙏

Today we celebrate all the amazing m**s — the ones who are still with us and the ones who live on in our hearts. 💐

Being a mam is one of the hardest and most beautiful roles in the world. The sleepless nights, the sacrifices, the unconditional love, and the little moments that mean everything. So today, take a minute to remember the good times — the laughs, the hugs, the advice, the memories that stay with us forever.

For those lucky enough to still have their mam, hold them close and remind them how loved they are. And for those whose m**s are no longer here, their love never truly leaves us — it lives on in everything we do. ❤️

To every mam, step-mam, nana, guardian, and mother figure who has given love and strength… today is for you.

The team at R W Barrett & Son are thinking of our families who are sadly without their mothers today and of course all the mothers who are without their children 🖤💛
