Proud to be part of something bigger.
The Golden Charter seal connects us with a trusted national brand while keeping what matters most — our independence.

It’s a visible sign that families can turn to us with confidence, knowing we’re part of a network of local funeral directors who share the same values of care, integrity, and professionalism.

We are local, and we’re backed by something much bigger.

As the year draws to a close, it’s common to think of the people who are special to us – especially those we've lost. That’s why we’ve chosen to take part in Light a Candle.

From 15 to 21 December we’ll be posting digital candles in memory of those who can’t be with us during the festive season. If you’d like to create a virtual candle, please click the following link where you can choose a design and write a short message to a loved one.

There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We’ll share your candles on our page.

We’re pleased to announce the return of Light a Candle this Christmas!

Taking part in this Christmas’s Light a Candle gives you the opportunity to create online memorials throughout the festive period.

Christmas is a special time to celebrate with family and friends, and our virtual candles are a thoughtful way to pay tribute to loved ones who are no longer with us.

We'll be sharing virtual candles on our page between 15 and 21 December. There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We look forward to sharing your memorials from 15 December.

Aston House hosted its first Christmas Wreath Workshop today and the results are stunning. Well done to everyone involved and a huge thank you to our resident florist Nigel Whyles for supporting our new project.

Today we conducted the first Funeral in our newly renovated Service Hall, Aston House.
Sadly the weather was against us, but due to there being only one service a day we were able to let the family and mourners remain in the building once the service had finished, so that they could share memories in warm and dry surroundings, rather than being exposed to the elements outside.

If you’d like more information about holding your loved one’s Funeral Service at Aston House or arranging a Memorial Service following an unattended Direct Cremation, please call us on 01952 613932.

We are delighted to be hosting the St Georges Christmas Light switch on at Aston House this year.
Please come along and join in the fun.

Finally after 15 Months of blood, sweat and nearly tears, we are there.
St Georges Methodist Church, an Iconic 1960’s building, has been renovated, remodelled and modernised, and is now ready to start a new chapter as Aston House.
With a 200 seat Service Hall, Reception Lounge, Meeting Room, Kitchen, Large Function Room, Toilets, Private Car Park and Outside Terrace we can offer our clients an alternative to a traditional Funeral Service whilst saving them a considerable amount of money.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their positive comments and encouragement, this helped enormously when we hit hurdles and at times doubted whether we had made the right decision.
We would also like to thank our neighbours for their patience whilst the renovations took place.
With community events and funeral services already booked we look forward to Aston House opening a new chapter in the 127 year history of L Tranter & Son.
