Gordon Barber Funeral Directors

23/04/2026

Choosing a direct cremation with Dignity still means the highest standard of care. Your loved one will rest in a local Gordon Barber funeral home and be looked after by our professional team - just as they would be with an attended funeral. The cremation also takes place at a local crematorium, keeping everything close to home.

When thinking about funeral plans, how important is it to you that everything is handled locally?
We’d really value your thoughts in the comments.

🐣Spreading Easter Cheer!🐣

Our team had a wonderful time delivering Easter Eggs to Dell Rose Court for their Easter Raffle and Badgers Wood Care Home for their Easter Egg Hunt!

It's always a pleasure to support and be part of of our local community, especially when it brings a few extra smiles and a bit of Easter magic along the way.
