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

    Thank you so much for the wonderful way in which you and your team handled the cremation service for my mother. John, you were professional, considerate and comforting at such a difficult time.Everything was wonderfully organised which enabled me and my family to focus on the memories of our lovely mother rather than the logistics. It really did make a tremendous difference being looked after by someone with genuine integrity, care and thoughtfulness. 
    Best Wishes

    We cannot thank you enough for taking care of Dennis. You were not only there for Dennis but for us as a family. Your smiles when we entered your office made us feel so welcome & you took care of everything. Sarah looked after us so well on the day of the funeral & nothing was too much trouble. You are a very compassionate team & answered our questions without batting an eyelid. Emily went out of her way to make things run smoothly & we felt so well looked after. Thank you seems a very inadequate word when you showed such care & attention. I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you once again.
