Choosing a funeral director is a personal decision. You need to feel confident that the person you contact will listen, explain the choices clearly and care for your family with professionalism and respect.

Independent Funeral Care with a Personal Approach
Our experience helps us provide steady guidance when families may feel uncertain about what needs to happen. We understand the practical requirements of arranging a funeral as well as the importance of treating every conversation with sensitivity.
Independent and local
Brian Sharples & Son is an independent local funeral director with six funeral homes across the communities we serve. Our local presence means families can speak to people who understand the area and the venues commonly used for funeral services.
Available day and night
A death does not always occur during office hours. Our telephone service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can contact us whenever you need guidance.
Time to make decisions
There can be many choices to make, but they do not all need to be made at once. We will explain what is urgent, what can wait and what options are available. It is not our policy to apply undue pressure.
We can arrange traditional, contemporary, religious, non-religious and personalised funerals. We will listen to your ideas and help you create a farewell that reflects the person’s character, values and relationships.
Clear and itemised costs
Funeral charges should be understandable. We provide a written estimate showing our professional charges, optional products or services and fees paid to third parties. Where choices change, we will explain the effect on the total cost.
Respectful care
The person who has died will be cared for with dignity and respect. We will explain visiting arrangements, clothing choices and any personal items the family would like to place with them, subject to legal and crematorium or cemetery requirements.
Support after the funeral
Our help does not necessarily end when the funeral is over. We can advise on ashes, memorials, charitable donations, thank-you notices and other practical matters that may follow.
