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.

  • 5 Kerry Gorvin 7th Aug 2020

    The passing and loss of our dad was made slightly more bearable by the thoughtful service provided by Biffens.
    Sarah was understanding and considerate and listened to our wishes and memories in order to help prepare a service that celebrated our dad’s life.
    It was a very hard day but Biffens helped to make it slightly less so. Many thanks to Sarah and her team  X
