I felt they looked after my Mum from the time she was picked up to when she was cremated, everything went very smooth and l can’t thank them enough.

We cannot speak highly enough of Gillotts Funeral Directors in Stapleford who we contacted when my Dad passed away. Right from the first phone call staff were helpful and informative. Hannah at Stapleford in particular was so kind and caring and guided us through the whole process beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble and Hannah was literally there for us every step of the way making sure everything was just as we wanted it to be. She organised for Dad to be transferred from the hospital into their care at the Chapel of Rest, booked the Crematorium, put us in contact with a celebrant to conduct the funeral service and even created a beautiful visual tribute by setting some photos of Dad to a piece of his favourite music. We went to see Dad in the Chapel of Rest several times and never felt rushed. This gave us time to say our final goodbyes and helped us come to terms with his passing. On the day of Dads funeral Danni from Stapleford was there making sure that everything went to plan and I have to say we really felt it was perfect. We were in such good hands with Hannah and Danni and cannot thank them enough for everything they did for our family at such a sad and difficult time.

About Us

Gillotts Funeral Directors are an independent family funeral director in Stapleford. They offer caring and compassionate funeral services to families in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and into Leicestershire, although they will cover almost any area on request.

The Stapleford funeral home was the first branch funeral home of Eastwood and District Funeral Directors - the former name of Gillotts’ Eastwood office, and was opened in 1986. Originally called Stapleford Funeral Service and located at Carrara House on Cemetery Road in Stapleford, it moved in 1997, to the current, much larger premises on Derby Road in Stapleford.

The business as a whole can be traced back to the Victorian era, when it began hiring horse-drawn hearses to local undertakers. The business has evolved over the years, but has retained its family basis and remains proudly independent, with it's owners closely involved with decision-making and running of the business.

The Stapleford funeral home is served by Funeral Arrangers Hazel and Jodie, and Funeral Director Alan Winfield, who will care for both you and your loved one before, during, and after the funeral.

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.

  • 5 Angela Mitchell 12th Sep 2023

  • 5 Lynn Tivey 29th Jul 2023

    The personal service we received while organising my mothers funeral through to completion was excellent. Hannah’s help with the Order of Service & Reflections was brilliant. We were guided through the whole process. Danni was also there to answer any questions we might have & also kept in touch to make sure we were happy with the arrangements. 

  • 5 Mrs S Barlow 28th Jul 2023

    Very sympathetic and gentle approach.  Listened to all our wishes and funeral was lovely 

  • 5 Nikki Cleaver 11th Jul 2023

    We cannot fault the excellent service we have received from Gillotts Funeral Directors - especially from Hannah in the Stapleford office. She, Danni and Chris the Celebrant were empathetic and professional at all times, translating our thoughts and ideas into a funeral our mum would have loved. Everyone remarked that the service was 'Audrey to a tee'. Many said they enjoyed it and more importantly that mum would have loved it. All this was down to the help and advice we were given. The costs have been well within our budget, with no hidden extras. It felt as if friends were helping us rather than simply Funeral Directors. The after care service has been great, and cannot be faulted.
    We'd definitely highly recommend using Gillotts.

  • 5 Kenneth Bamford 15th May 2023

  • 5 Jackie Woolley 24th Apr 2023

    Can't speak highly enough of both Alan and Hannah at Gillots Stapleford. They were caring, kind and friendly whilst maintaining professionalism at all times. Mum's funeral went exactly as planned and having them both on hand was a great help.
    Would definitely recommend them.

  • 5 Glenys Cattermole 19th Apr 2023

    Very pleased with the service we received at a very sad time

  • 5 Sally-Ann Roberts 12th Apr 2023

    In such sad times the team at Gillotts were great, mum had already had her funeral plans in place so the few fine details that were needed to give mum a lovely goodbye were done so good. From the first time we visited Gillotts with mum to put her funeral in place to even after visiting for advice on mum's head stone they were so helpful. Lovely team.

  • 5 Peter Peabody 16th Jan 2023

    The service and care from start to finish has been excellent.
    Hannah who looked after us is amazing, she made the whole thing easier for us to cope with. Her care and attention to detail is faultless. We will definitely be recommending Gillotts.
    Cherrie got the service she deserved, it was perfect
    Thank you

  • 5 Linda Henshaw 7th Aug 2022

    Who shops for a funeral before the event? Gillotts we’re excellent from start to finish, supporting myself and my daughter for the arrangements for my husband I cannot fault any of the team at Stapleford branch they were all excellent and went above and beyond to make sure everything went according to plan and lightening the load were they could. I cannot recommend them highly enough. As I said no one knows where to start when faced with a bereavement wether it’s expected or not, and therefore no one recommends a funeral director- let me be the first!

  • 5 Carolanne Staniforth 3rd Aug 2022

    Couldn’t of wished for a more compassionate and professional service from all the staff. Would highly recommend.

  • 5 Paul Wilson 14th Jul 2022

    Thank you.

  • 5 D J Miles 14th Jul 2022

    Very happy with how they dealt with mum and her funeral. Used Gillotts 4 times over the last few year. They deliver a great service at a difficult time.

  • 5 Karen Parkin 24th May 2022

    Knowledgable, sensitive staff made all necessary arrangements to our wishes. We were kept informed throughout.
