From start to finish, Jo and the team have been really helpful and made a sad day a day of celebration, the pic film they made really captured Lorraine as we knew, thanks

I found all Gillotts staff in Eastwood very professional, helpful and kind both in the funeral planning and on the actual day. The family and friends who attended were particularly impressed with the service itself and thought the celebrant did a wonderful job. I would certainly recommend Gillotts to anyone in a similar situation in the future.

The service from everyone at Gillotts was exceptional. They helped the whole family with information, putting our minds at rest and nothing was too much trouble. They provided the exact amount of dignity and compassion during the funeral. Everything was done efficiently but with the utmost care. The service at the funeral itself was solemn, dignified, and perfectly timed. We couldn't have better service. Thank you.

About Us
Tracing their origin back to 1867, Gillotts Funeral Directors are a funeral director in Eastwood. They are proud to be an independent family business, offering caring and compassionate funeral services to families in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, although they are also happy to conduct funerals further afield if requested.
In 1867, Star Livery Stables on Victoria Street in Eastwood began providing horse-drawn hearses to local undertakers. The business continued to hire vehicles to undertakers throughout a wide area for many decades, until in the 1970's it became a fully fledged funeral service. In the 1980's it moved to its current location on the main road in Eastwood. Over the years, the business has grown to five funeral homes, through a merger with Gillotts Funeral Service - a long-running business in Heanor, and by opening satellite funeral homes in Stapleford, Kimberley and Selston.
As a true family business, the partners of the business are directly involved with its day to day operation of the funeral home. The partners are Barry and Elaine Hutsby, who have grown the Eastwood side of the business since the 1970's when they joined forces with Elaine's Aunt and Uncle, their daughter Joanne, and Anthony Topley, whose father-in-law founded the Heanor funeral home.
Gillotts Funeral Directors, Eastwood has its own fleet of modern and reliable Jaguar hearses and limousines, and can also arrange for bespoke transport such as horse-drawn hearses and motorbike hearses.
Gillotts Funeral Directors, Eastwood is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and on Saturdays from 9am to 12.30pm, with a 24-hour telephone service. Call now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one
