Service was lovely. Very accommodating to what I wanted, even leaving mum's feet uncovered when I went to see her.

Beryl Morgan 1st Apr 2023

I can’t speak more highly of the care and attention extended to me. Everything was carried out exactly as had been discussed to the highest professional standards. Joanne was hugely knowledgeable and personable. 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

    I would just like to say a massive thank you to Joanne at Gillots Funeral Directors. She has handled both my dad's passing in May 2022 and my mum's passing in February this year. She made the process so much easier for us and we took great comfort in her professional, caring manner to us all from start to finish. She is an absolute asset to the company. Thank you Joanne from the bottom of my heart.
