Alternative hearses can be brought in, for example horse and carriage to motorbike and sidecar.

  • 5 Keith McNally 2nd Jun 2025

    Biffen & Sons were absolutely amazing and extremely caring.

    John and Emily were able to guide me through the process with minimal fuss but with absolute understanding.

    I can not praise them highly enough and would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Helen Prince 24th May 2025

    When we knew my dad was terminally sick with weeks to live we contacted Biffens to put plans in place. A tough task but when we met with John he immediately put us at ease and he went through the whole funeral plan and asked us as a family collectively what our requirements were. He advised what needed to be done once the death happened and who I needed to contact etc , this after the event I found was a godsend.
     
    The care and compassion the whole team showed us as a family was outstanding and the fine detail of how we wanted things was taken care of. Emily is one of the most respectful and caring human beings and nothing was too much trouble every time I called in or phoned her. 

    Thank you doesn’t seem enough, it’s a very tough job and an incredibly difficult time but leaving your loved ones in the care of Biffens is reassuring. 

    I have no hesitation in recommending this funeral directors as they are nothing short of amazing. 

    Th ... ank you all

    From our first meeting in the office at Biffens to our final journey in the limousine we received a warm, friendly and caring service from all staff.
    A special mention to Sarah and Emily who were both so helpful and supportive.

  • 5 Terri Hale 28th Jan 2025

    I cannot praise H Biffens enough. They were 1st class in every aspect of their services for my partner John Lowe. With John having to be repatriated, they took care of everything on arrival in the UK. At such a difficult time for me, they were there  to support and give valuable advise and guidance. Nothing was any problem for them, regardless of the visits to their office and questions I kept asking them and Sarah Biffen was always available anytime of the day. I recommend them every time. Their family really do take care of yours.
