Family Funeral Service

Delivered With Warmth, Kindness and the Personal Touch


We would like to wish you a very warm welcome to Barthram Funeral Service. If you are looking at our website, it is likely you have experienced a bereavement or you are expecting to. If this is the case, we are here to support you wholeheartedly through our Funeral Directors.


Our Family Funeral Service is focused on compassion, kindness and warmth. We offer both traditional and modern funerals based entirely on your needs. As a family we know how hard it is to lose a loved one and that is why we truly devote ourselves to your care before, during and after the funeral.

We believe in listening patiently to our clients and providing the choices needed to personalize your loved one’s funeral service. At Barthram’s, our undertakers understand that every life is unique, and we work with you to create a funeral that reflects that. Whether you opt for a traditional service or pure cremation, we ensure a meaningful tribute.


Transparency, honesty, and value are what we offer each of our clients. You can choose the cremation or burial that meets your requirements, whether it be traditional, woodland, or cremation. Additionally, we offer a wide range of flowers and coffins to suit your preferences.
