Excellent and sensitive customer care at a difficult time.
Sue Mitchell 26th Dec 2025
Helen and Daniel were absolutely wonderful. They managed everything with a great mixture of compassion and efficiency, knowing what comes next and gently guiding us through. Along with Kim as the celebrant I couldn’t genuinely have asked for more.

About Us
Established in 1994, D L Hancock is a family-owned and run independent Funeral Directors based in Bicester, with a second branch in Oxford.
As members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) D L Hancock adhere to a strict code of conduct that provides assurance to their clients that they provide a high standard of service which families can trust in.
Darren and his team of experienced staff observe the values of treating their clients as if they were their own family and Darren himself believes in caring for bereaved families as he would want to be cared for himself. They feel a sense of pride in serving the community and the staff are able to cater to individual wishes and provide the level of personal touch that you can depend on with an independent Funeral Director.
Darren is assisted by Simon Williams, the Asst. Funeral Director with over 20 years experience, Helen Connor, the Office Manager and Funeral Arranger with over 10 years experience and Funeral Arrangers Carol Williams and Daniel Riley. All staff are highly trained in managing sensitive and distressing situations, handling bereavement with the greatest possible respect, empathy and compassion.
The Funeral Home in Bicester was converted from a residential property and retains a very 'homely' feel to ensure that families are offered the most comfortable surroundings possible to ask questions, express their loved one's wishes and discuss aspects of the funeral arrangements. In addition to arrangement rooms, this Funeral Home has a Chapel of Rest for families to visit and in some cases view their loved one in a quiet and private space. Staff will be on hand to show you into the chapel and they are willing to remain in attendance if requested, or leave visitors in peace to spend time alone with their loved one - it is very much the choice of each individual.
Please call the number on this page today to speak directly to D L Hancock Independent Family Funeral Directors and a member of their team will be able to help answer any questions or schedule a visit to make arrangements in person.
