Meet the Owner – Trevor Shingler FSBP
I’m Trevor Shingler, founder of T&G Direct Funeral Services Ltd. I started the company in October 2023 alongside my wife, Gayle, after spending 10 years working within both large corporate and family-run funeral companies.
During that time, I began to notice something that didn’t sit right with me — rising costs that didn’t always reflect the level of care families deserved. That’s when I knew it was time to create something different. Our aim has always been simple: to provide a professional, compassionate service at a fair and reasonable price, without ever compromising on quality.
At T&G Direct Funeral Services, we proudly support local businesses by sourcing our coffins, urns, flowers, and vehicles from trusted local suppliers. We believe in keeping things personal, meaningful, and community-focused.
We offer a wide range of funeral services to suit every family’s needs, including:
• Direct cremations
• Hearse-only funerals
• Hearse and limousine services
• Horse-drawn funerals
• Motorbike funerals
• Fully personalised services tailored to honour your loved one’s life
Since starting the company, I’ve been honoured to take on the role of Vice President for the Society of Bereavement Practitioners — a position I accepted with great pride. I am also Chair Trustee of Billy’s Lifeline, a su***de bereavement charity that is very close to my heart following the loss of my cousin. The charity does incredible work supporting families through the most difficult times.
If you would like any further information about our services, or simply want to have a conversation about your options, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
