North Norfolk Funeral Services
Locally owned since 1895, we provide a personal, caring and professional service.
We are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We continue to offer a caring and professional service during this difficult time, and we are following closely the guidance of the National Association of Funeral Directors. We can arrange a funeral now that is in line with government restrictions, and we can help you to plan a memorial service for a later date that will allow a fuller celebration of the lives of your loved ones. Please note that in line with the latest Government guidance from 8th August 2020 visitors to funeral homes and places of worship will have to wear face coverings.
