About Us

The original branch in Beeston was established as an Independent Family-run Funeral Directors in 2007 by Julie and husband Richard Wesson.

Julie began her career in the Funeral business from 17 years old, having enrolled in a YTS government training scheme and has since gone on to earn recognition for her hard work with a Diploma in Funeral Directing.

Having started out at another premises in Beeston, the new office, opened in January 2020 by Tina Stowell MBE (Baroness Stowell of Beeston), is located around the corner from Villa Street and named Harold House in honour of Julie's father, who sadly died only a couple of years prior.

Julie Wesson Independent Funeral Directors understands bereavement is one of the most harrowing and emotionally difficult experiences a person can go through and their trained staff can provide the highest level of care, guidance and support available, as well as take care of your loved one with respect and dignity.

Call Julie Wesson and the team today for further assistance and advice, to ask for a quote, or to engage their services and begin making funeral arrangements.

    From start to finish we received an outstanding service from all the team and we are truly grateful for the care and compassion we received while arranging our Dad's funeral.
    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, you made the unbearable bearable 🌹

    From start to finish we can’t praise and thank your business enough.  From taking out the pre paid funeral back in 2018 to the ceremony 19th of September 2024 you all made a distressful situation so very much easier

    I cannot recommend Julie Wesson and the team highly enough. The kindness, care and professionalism that we received during every part of planning mum's funeral was fantastic and the day was a perfect tribute to her. Sally really took the time to hear about mum and her suggestions for the Celebrant, flowers, etc. were spot on and she designed an order of service that was absolutely perfect. 

    We felt supported at every single point. It was actually only in the days after the funeral that I realised that I hadn't been worried or stressed about any of the arrangements:  Sally organised everything beforehand and Richard and the team took such good care of us on the day.

    I used Julie Wesson funeral directors services for my father’s funeral and they were absolutely fantastic. 
    So caring and compassionate. I never felt like anything was too much trouble for them.
    They took care of my dad as if he were their own. 
    Julie, Richard all of their staff did an amazing job and made a difficult time a lot easier to cope with. 
    I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. 
    Thank you so much to Julie, Richard, Ellie and the whole team x 

  • 4 Kathryn Hedge 9th Jul 2024

    We feel a close connection to Julie as she has arranged the funerals of both our parents and our brother and we have found her warm and caring and helpful. 
    The rating would have been higher were it not for a few admin errors which meant we felt we had to double check things especially earlier on. 
    But overall we were very happy with the service. Thank you.
