My father died at the end of September and his funeral was arranged by NJ Newbury and Sons. I found the team really professional as you would expect but also compassionate and prepared to put extra time and effort in meeting the desires of the family whilst ensuring that unnecessary costs were avoided. For example, my Mother wanted him transported to the crematorium in a horse drawn hearse was proving problematical with local firms saying it was too far. Natalie didn't accept this and persevered until she found a solution to make it happen and my Mother was really pleased that he went out in style. This is a company that truly cares and believes that only the very best service is good enough. I am delighted that I went to them and would recommend them without hesitation to anybody looking for a team that cares about both the deceased and the bereaved. Frankly 5 stars aren't enough to reflect my opinion.

its been an extremely tough time, just 2 months after loosing my own mum i lost my mum in law. after using Natalie and her team for my mums funeral we were happy enough to use them again. it was very different this time though as we were in lockdown so things were more limited but Natalie did everything possible to give Bella a wonderful sendoff. on the day of the funeral they brought Bella up her street with Natalie walking in front of the hearse all looking very smart, the neighbours were all out in force clapping Bella on her way. the hearse stopped outside Bellas house and the boot was opened to let her go back home. a lovely touch was we were presented a balloon with lovely words on it to let go. thank you so much NJ Newbury & sons

Right from the point of making contact with Newbury & Sons after my Pops passed away I was made to feel at ease and nothing was to much trouble. They took care of everything for me. Anything I asked for was no trouble for them to organise. You are made to feel like family whilst still keeping their professionalism. Their attention to detail is outstanding. The little touches mean so much more than they know. I would more than highly recommend Newbury &Sons.

They are lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. The day went wonderfully and as a family we felt well cared for and they made a hard and horrible thing to do nice and easy.

From the start, right through the funeral process both my deceased father and our family were treated with consummate professionalism and kindness. At a time when our minds were all over the place and our hearts grieving, the two ladies who are N J Newbury and Son, pulled together a beautiful funeral that eased our hearts immensely. Between the two of them they have incredible talent and compassion, using them was very much a one stop shop, beautiful flowers, order of service sheets, everything. They really took the worry out of the situation. They have a beautiful viewing room to spend last moments with your loved one, cleverly conceived so that when you’re in there it appears that the open sky is above you. I cant recommend this lovely team of funeral directors enough to anybody who finds themselves in the same situation of having lost a precious family member.

My whole experience was stress free, the planning was so easy and nothing was too much trouble. I could message or email at any time of day and didn't have to wait long for an answer. The ceremony was beautiful, made special by the flowers and order of service created by Natalie. I can't thank them enough for all the kind and thoughtful words and deeds they delivered.

Excellent funeral services provided during a difficult time, they helped and guided us through decisions concerning my brothers cremation and was always on hand to give us help and guidance. Natalie and Paula were friendly, compassionate, kind and professional from start to finish, they handled everything with the utmost care and sensitivity.

N J NEWBURY & SONS are a family run business. I had the great privileged of working with them recently. They went out of their way to cater to the needs of the bereaved family, and nothing was too much for them. Their prices are competitive and I am pleased to recommend them without reservation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you arrange a funeral?

You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.

How can I get help with funeral costs?

If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
