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.

H Biffen & Sons Ltd Family Funeral Directors is open Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm, and Fridays until 4.30pm. The home is fully accessible, with a 24-hour service when your loved one passes away. The funeral home has its own non-denominational chapel of rest where you can say goodbye to your loved one in peace with a lounge next to the chapel for you to catch your breath. The chapel is dedicated to Harold Wilkins, a member of staff who worked for the funeral home for many years.

    Sarah, John and your amazing staff have been so kind to us, I have been a bit dippy, you all have steered me in the right direction with a smile and giggles, I sure needed the giggles. 
    The day went off as we wanted, not organised or somber, the wake had a lovely atmosphere we all sat out side, Marie and her staff at the Globe did us proud, again nothing too much trouble, please thank the flower people, just what we wanted , just right. 
    Richard and myself are away from the 21st -28th June. Will be in touch when we get back, can you keep the ashes until then.
