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 Peter Arme 20th Dec 2025

    Gillotts dealt with my father's funeral and most recently my aunty's. Hannah in the Stapleford branch was exemplary and very professional. Nothing was too much trouble and ran seamlessly. Anthony our driver introduced himself before the funeral and was very courteous and polite and again made sure everything ran so smoothly. Can't recommend them enough. We will be buying our own funeral plan through Gillotts after these experiences. Well done

  • 5 Susan Thexton 2nd Nov 2025

    Hannah has been wonderful. She led us through the arrangements for my husband's funeral with professionalism, kindness and friendliness. I cannot recommend Gillotts at Stapleford highly enough. Thank you Hannah.

  • 5 Julie Gray 8th Aug 2025

  • 5 Helen Bosworth 23rd Jul 2025

    From collecting our father to the day of the cremation we were treated with respect dignity and kindness.
    Hannah was our point of contact and nothing was too much trouble even with cross county coroner’s involvement making things difficult.
    Would highly recommend 

  • 5 Pamela Pearce 4th Jul 2025

  • 5 Carole Allenby 4th Jul 2025

    We couldn't fault the care and attention provided at a difficult time. In particular, Hannah was very attentive

  • 5 Paul Gamble 17th Jun 2025

    The staff at Gillotts were very friendly and helpful whilst sorting out my father’s funeral. The day was eased by the professionalism of the funeral directors. Nothing was left out and felt we gave my dad a good send off. 

  • 5 Elaine Thorpe 17th Jun 2025

    Everyone involved was very helpful and caring and couldn’t do enough for the family 

  • 5 Brian Woods 28th Feb 2025

    I really cannot praise Hannah Chapman at the Stapleford Branch enough.
    She made the funeral for my wife absolutely seamless and her approach to the bereaved family is not something that can be instilled by training. She has a natural empathy and affinity with people. A real asset to your business.

    A mention also of Josh Wood, the celebrant. Another person who can only be described as a real asset.

  • 5 Peter Arnold 7th Feb 2025

    Hannah and the team were brilliant.  Hannah ensured everything was well planned and helped us choose various options.  The team on the day were friendly and professional ensuring everything went like clockwork.
    Thank you to everyone concerned xx

  • 5 Keith Butler 11th Aug 2024

    Gillotts offered a very compassionate and personal service throughout the whole process. Hannah Chapman is a tremendous asset to the Business, very professional and efficient but also able to show kindness and empathy at such a difficult time. We wanted a personal service to celebrate the life of our loved one and it was exactly that.

    We have no hesitation in recommending Gillotts in the future.

  • 5 Linda Gleave 26th Jul 2024

    From the moment I went into the office in Stapleford to the funeral itself I never felt alone or uncomfortable. The staff kept me well informed and were extremely helpful throughout the process. All of the staff I interacted with treated me with kindness and compassion. Excellent service.

  • 5 Kenneth Pearce 23rd Jul 2024

    It was a pleasure dealing with Gillotts. At a very distressing time they were helpful, curtious and professional in everything they did. We were perhaps not the usual clientele they have had to deal with but they treated us with dignity and sympathy in equal quantity. The two ladies we dealt with, Danni and Hannah, we so helpful and whilst we had some amusing conversations things ever breached the standards of professionalism that were expected. We would highly recommend the company to anyone in the future.

  • 5 Liam Kelly 12th Jul 2024

    Hannah and the team at Gillotts were exceptional in offering help and support at an extremely difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble, they were there when we needed them, and they made the whole process transparent and accessible. Always at the end of the phone if you needed any advice or help, they couldn't have done more for us. I have no hesitation in recommending Gillotts for a professional, courteous and sympathetic service.
    Liam.

  • 5 Nicola Langfield 28th Feb 2024

    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. 

  • 5 Tim Barker 7th Feb 2024

    At a very difficult time for us all Gillotts were supportive understanding and caring…. An excellent service. 

  • 5 Paul Wilson 15th Dec 2023

  • 5 Jennie Dunn 25th Nov 2023

    Thank you. You made dad's funeral so special and gave us everything and more than we could ever imagine. Your patience, support and kindness is gratefully appreciated at such a difficult time. You are true professionals and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
