About Us

Tracing their origin back to 1867, Gillotts Funeral Directors are an independent family funeral director in Heanor. They offer caring and compassionate funeral services to families in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, although they are also happy to conduct funerals further afield if requested.

The origins of the Heanor funeral home go back to the Second World War, when Ernest Brewin started a joiner's workshop and undertakers - at that time a common combination - on Abbott Street. His nephew Jack Gillott later bought the business from his uncle, and the business became Gillotts Funeral Service. Jack's son-in-law Anthony Topley joined him in the business, and in 1992 when Jack retired, the business merged with Eastwood & District Funeral Service, and Anthony became part of the newly formed partnership.

The team at the Heanor funeral home consists of funeral directors Anthony Topley and Helen Ellis, and Funeral Administrator Amanda Outram, who all have years of experience and will be on hand to guide you through every step of the funeral arrangement.

Gillotts Funeral Directors has its own fleet of modern and reliable Jaguar hearses and limousines, ensuring that you can travel with dignity and comfort to the funeral.

Gillotts Funeral Directors, Heanor is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with a 24-hour service. Call now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one.

  • 4 Kevin Millhouse 8th Oct 2021

    After making a appointment with Gillotts, l went too talk about my mums funeral needs,lucky enough my mum had paid for her funeral, she had also left all she wanted with the service,
    the undertaker maid sure that all me mum had asked for was all in line,l agreed and said everything seems good,l went back a few days later with photos, again the staff at Gillotts was yet again very helpful, on the Friday before the funeral l went to see my mum,Gillotts had dressed me in clothes l had dropped off, they had made a great appearance of my mum,that will always stay in my heart how peaceful she looked,the day of the funeral l asked Gillotts to come up to the house were my mum had lived for 48 years,we then went down to the Chapel ,everything that Gillotts had to carry out was done with compassion, then Gillotts took me mum over to the crematorium, and once again Gillotts carried out everything professionally and l thanked them very much for a great service they had been part of.
