Trotman Funeral Directors

06/10/2025

🌿 A new report by SAIF and Funeral Solution Expert shows that independent funeral directors offer better value and care than national chains.

While big brands have raised prices, independent firms have lowered theirs, and nearly half of families say they’d choose a local, independent funeral director they know and trust.

At Trotman we’re proud to keep offering fair prices, personal service and local care when it matters most.
