Burnell Tovey

is proud to be an independent funeral director.

Why an independent funeral director is better.

We know and appreciate local customs and expectations because we have served this community since the 1860's. All our attention is concentrated on satisfying the needs of our friends and neighbours. We are not distracted or bound by corporate rules handed down from head office. We are flexible and responsive to your needs.

This is our business. Our neighbourhood is your neighbourhood. We take great pride in our chapels of rest and our vehicles. We are immensely proud of our staff, for whom we maintain a regular training programme to ensure the highest level of professional service.

Not only do we want to meet your current needs but we also want to build a relationship of trust, so that you will return to us in the future.

We have a long term commitment to our community. This is where we live and work. It is where we plan to stay. When you need us, we will be here.

Large concerns answer to shareholders. We answer to YOU. In our locally owned firm there is no pressure from head office to increase profits. We know that our business will do well when we serve you well.

Although we are locally owned, we are not limited in our service. We can assist your family in the event of a death occurring away from home. This is made even easier when arrangements have been made in advance through a pre-paid funeral plan.
