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)

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