Shires Funeral Directors

Shires Funeral Directors At Shires, we’ve been by local families’ sides for generations, helping to celebrate each life’s unique story.

Whether it’s a bespoke service, tailored funeral plan, or a friendly chat at our Never Alone groups, we’re here every step of the way. Through our work as Community Champions we hope to challenge and change out of date negative perceptions of funeral directors by working closely with the communities in which we work. We are more than just a funeral director and have been a family business for over 330 years. We are dedicated to making a difficult time that little bit easier and carry our philosophy that every life is unique in every aspect of our lives. We intend to make a valuable contribution to our local communities and to continue to break down the taboo’s surrounding the work of a funeral director.

Sally wanted to see it through.

For years, she helped families as a funeral arranger. Right up to the day of the funeral.
But her role ended there.

She wanted to be there for the whole journey.

So she trained as a funeral conductor. Then became a funeral director.
Now she's there from the first phone call to the final goodbye.

She knows what families need because she's been there herself.

Loss taught her that guidance matters. Not just on the day. Every step of the way.

After work, you'll find her on the river or out with friends.
Or disappeared completely, lost in an audiobook.

Some days you need people.
Some days you need quiet.

Sally Nix.
Funeral Director, Bedford and Sandy.

She wanted to walk the whole journey with families.
So she made sure she could.
