About Us
WS Taylor & Sons Funeral Directors in Newcastle has been serving their local community with bespoke, personalised funerals since 2009.
Billy Taylor and his wife Karen set up business over ten years ago and were joined by their funeral director Jim DaPrato in 2013, their eldest son Gary in 2015, and their daughter-in-law Rebecca in 2018. Between them they have decades of experience working in the funeral profession.
WS Taylor & Sons Funeral Directors are happy to help arrange any type of funeral requested of them, from religious services with traditional burials and cremations, through to humanist celebrations of life and woodland burials.
They are able to provide coffins and caskets of almost any material, such as oak or pine, and design, including eco-friendly options, such as cardboard, wicker or bamboo.
There is a traditional fleet of hearses and limousines on hand as well as bespoke, alternative choices such as motorcycle and horse-drawn hearses.
WS Taylor & Sons Funeral Directors are open Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 4:30pm, and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via the telephone. Their Forest Hall funeral home has off-street parking, two peaceful chapels of rest, and private consultation rooms where you can discuss your loved one’s funeral. Should you prefer a home visit, this can be arranged by appointment.
Get in touch with WS Taylor & Sons Funeral Directors today to begin arranging your loved one’s perfect funeral.
