Fawcett and Hetherington Funeral Service

Fawcett and Hetherington Funeral Service Fawcett and Hetherington Funeral Service is a family owned & run company offering the highest Service and Compassion

In October 2010, we combined both offices and opened a purposely designed Funeral Home out of a former Public House on Eston High Street called King George House, we did this so that we could concentrate our efforts on providing a personal and comforting service in times of need. All our permanent staff are made up of family Members, because of this we can offer a complete, personal and professional service. We have 7 Chapels of Rest, 2 of which were specifically designed for disabled access. We have a Service Chapel in which we can hold small Funeral Services and other activities, if you would like to use this facility then please contact us. We have a fleet of Jaguar funeral vehicles and can also supply a Horse Drawn Hearse if required. We are the only Funeral Service in the Tees Valley area to offer The Coffin Cover which is a low cost, sustainable and dignified alternative to a traditional coffin. We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and abide by its Code of Practice. Our staff are also members of the British Institute of Funeral Directors and The British Institute of Embalmers and we also abide by their codes of practice.

We’re excited to share our new logo with you today. It’s a small change that carries a big meaning for us — honouring the traditional values that Fawcett & Hetherington was built on, while embracing the individuality of every family we support.

Every goodbye is personal. Every story is unique. And we wanted a logo that reflects both our heritage and our belief that everyone deserves the freedom to say farewell in their own way.

We’d love to know what you think of it — does it feel like “us” to you? Your thoughts mean a lot as we continue to grow with our community.

Our Story

Established in 1993 by Alistair Fawcett and David “Pip” Hetherington when they opened our first office in South Bank. In 1995 another branch was opened in Normanby High Street.

In October 2010, we combined both offices and opened a purposely designed Funeral Home out of a former Public House on Eston High Street and named it King George House, this allowed us to concentrate our efforts on providing a personal and comforting service in times of need in one central building.

We have 7 chapels of rest, 2 which are specifically designed for disabled access
