  • William H Painter were very helpful, flexible and professional. Everyone said the service was a fitting tribute to my Dad and we were able to work with WHP to get everything exactly as we wanted (music, eulogies and even fitted in a tribute from the local Buffs) despite just coming out of lock down. Frankie, the funeral celebrant they provided was also extremely considerate, helpful and did a great job.

  • Nobody likes to have to use the services of a funeral director, but from my first experience as the next of kin for the death of a loved one, I wouldn't recommend anybody else. From collecting my dad, to his cremation, the team at Painters were the perfect balance of professional, empathetic and efficient. Our point of contact was Victoria, who from day one was supportive, informative and understanding. Talking myself and my siblings through every process and really tailoring her approach to our needs and wants. We couldn't thank them enough! Thank you again for looking after our dad <3

  • From the day I visited their office, to the completion of the funeral, they handled the whole event seamlessly, with total professionalism and very friendly. Constant communication and updates providing us with a package that fitted the occasion perfectly. Also a special mention to Katie, who was wonderful throughout the whole process. Many thanks for your help & support.

Types of funerals

At William H Painter, we offer a number of different types of funerals. Which one you choose will depend on your beliefs, or those of your loved one and whether you chose a burial or cremation. Cremation is the most popular form of funeral with a service at the crematorium, in a church or other venue prior to the cremation.

If you’d like something a bit different, personalised or less formal than a traditional service, our funeral directors can support, guide and inspire you to create a farewell that is a true celebration of life.
