Independent Family Run Service since 1895
Owned by the Blyth family since 1895, we provide a personal, empathetic and highly professional service. Every funeral is tailored to meet the needs and wishes of you and your loved one, whilst providing the greatest care and respect.
We are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
All four of our funeral homes are run by experienced Funeral Directors and their teams and we are full members of the National Association of Funeral Directors. We are governed by their code of conduct and professional standards and we are proud to provide, to our local community and beyond, the high level of service they expect.
Our Funeral Directors, Hayley Pegg and Guy Stratton, will help you through all the necessary arrangements, giving you all the time you need. There are many choices to be made when preparing your loved one’s funeral and they will guide you every step of the way. Both Hayley and Guy are happy to come to your address, or you are welcome to visit one of our funeral homes in Sheringham (Blyth & Sons Ltd), High Kelling, Holt (Lloyd Durham Funeral Services), Fakenham (Canler & Son) or Wells (S. T. Sutton).
“We understand that at such an upsetting time it can be very difficult to make decisions. From the moment you contact us, we will guide you and offer all possible assistance.”
Hayley oversees the running of Blyth & Sons Ltd in Sheringham and Lloyd Durham Funeral Services in High Kelling, Holt. Born in West Runton and schooled in Holt and Sheringham, Hayley has been a part of the local community all her life.
Hayley has been with us for over a decade, and holds the NAFD diploma in Funeral Directing.
Guy oversees the running of S. T. Suttons in Wells and Canler & Son in Fakenham. Guy was born and raised in Salthouse on the North Norfolk Coast. He was educated in Kelling and in Sheringham.
Guy joined Blyth & Sons Ltd in 1988, and in 1991 he gained the NAFD diploma in Funeral Directing.
Pax’s gentle nature helps to restore calm and emotional balance where needed.
Whether providing quiet support from afar or making a new friend, Pax has a remarkable talent for helping people feel at ease.
Pepper is an expert at greeting visitors with enthusiasm if needed and diffusing stressful situations with a tail wag.
Unofficially recognised as our Wellness Officer, Pepper is happy to offer spontaneous cuddles if required. He knows how to remain a respectful distance if preferred and then concentrates on his other area of expertise, snack detection.
Blyth’s building firm was founded in 1895. The funeral division was formed in the 1940s. Tony Blyth took over the running of the firm in the 1980s. He ran it successfully for 40 years.
The firm is currently run by Tony’s son and daughter, Mark Blyth and Nichola Rosser. They are the fourth generation of the Blyth family to do so.
In 1983 Blyth & Sons acquired Lloyd Durham of Holt. Canler & Sons of Fakenham and S. T. Suttons of Wells were acquired a few years later.
