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

  • 5 Allan Jones 17th Jan 2023

    Our family was looked after beautifully by the whole team at Biffens, from the first appointment right through to the day of the funeral a month later. The funeral itself went without a hitch and every little detail we requested was looked after. A special mention must go to Emily who was absolutely wonderful to deal with and nothing was too much trouble or any question too stupid, the way she looked after us was caring, compassionate and friendly - would we recommend Biffens? Yes without hesitation - thank you to the whole team you really did make it a very personal service and helped us to say goodbye to Betty with the utmost dignity and care

    There really aren’t enough words to express how amazing the Biffens team are. They have been our light in the dark and have given us the support we have needed to get through the days. Their compassion and kindness and dedication to the role that they do is absolutely amazing and we will be forever grateful for everything they have done for us and our beautiful little lady. We have been so very lucky to have had them around us during this time.
