About Us
H Biffen & Sons Ltd Family Funeral Directors in Bridgwater, Somerset were established in 1920 by Harry Biffen, with £100 borrowed from his Uncle. H Biffen, now a 4th generation family funeral director, has a goal to provide families with a dignified and caring service at a fair value.
The company has always been in the heart of Bridgwater and covers the surrounding areas. They own one of the largest British fleets of Daimler, Princess, Rover and Jaguar hearses and limousines - some of which have been lovingly restored over the years since Harry Biffen first founded the business. Alternative hearses can be brought in, for example horse and carriage to motorbike and sidecar.
H Biffen & Sons offer funeral arrangements that are bespoke, traditional and everything in between with expert guidance. The dedicated team know that everyone is different and a funeral should reflect who they are and how much they are loved and they will guide you every step of the way. Father and Daughter team John and Sarah, alongside their extended family of professional, compassionate staff, are proud to care for your loved one and help you with every step of arranging a funeral.

The chapel is dedicated to Harold Wilkins, a member of staff who worked for the funeral home for many years.

Sarah and the team were caring and compassionate and we couldn’t have asked for anymore.
Lisa Pomeroy 27th Jul 2026
Superb service from the moment Mum was collected from the nursing home. Sarah put my sisters and myself completely at ease talking through the process. Emily in the office was very efficient and professional and John was very kind on the day of Mum’s funeral service.
Mark Bateman 21st Jul 2026
Sarah and her staff are amazing. They helped guide us through a very difficult time, and made every effort to help us prepare for our Dad’s funeral in the most professional and yet gentle and thoughtful way possible. The service was perfect and Sarah guided us through every step of the way with her quiet, calm confidence. We could not have asked for more from her. We cannot thank H Biffen & Son enough for everything they have done for us through this time. Tracy & Mark (Rob Bateman funeral)
