Here at Rushton Family Funerals our mission is to provide the highest quality of support, guidance, care and personal service to families at a time of need. We are committed to providing a service that is modern, open and honest and at a fair price with no unexpected or hidden costs.
At Rushton Family Funerals, we are a dedicated family owned and run Independent funeral director. We understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is a deeply personal and emotional experience. Our mission is to provide a compassionate, modern, and environmentally conscious approach to funeral services for the people of Ripon and surrounding areas. Our Vision Our vision is for a company where end-of-life services embrace innovation and sustainability, ensuring a positive impact on both the families we serve and the environment. At Rushton Family Funerals, we strive to redefine the funeral industry by offering meaningful and personalised services while minimising our ecological footprint. Our founder and Funeral Director, Luke Rushton, established Rushton Family Funerals with the vision of redefining the way families experience the process of saying farewell to a loved one. Luke's journey into the funeral industry was not just a professional pursuit, it was a personal commitment to providing a level of care and understanding that surpasses the conventional funeral services. Fuelled by a passion for helping families navigate the difficult journey of loss, Luke recognised the need for a more personalised and affordable approach in an industry becoming dominated by large national firms. Our Approach Several studies have shown that family involvement throughout the funeral process is an important factor within the grieving process, yet many funeral directors would not want families to be present during the preparing of the body. Our gentle and respectful approach is why at Rushton Family Funerals we willingly involve families in all aspects of the funeral preparation if this is their wish, from dressing or gently washing their loved one, to carrying the coffin on the day of the funeral. This can make the process much more personal and meaningful and can help in the process of saying goodbye. Our fresh attitude to the funeral experience combines a modern approach with timeless traditions to create meaningful and personalised services. Our approach focuses on: Personalised Farewells We believe every life is unique and deserves a personalised farewell. We work closely with families to create a celebration of life that truly reflects the individuality of your loved one. Eco-Friendly Choices We are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact. From biodegradable coffins to carbon-neutral transportation options, we provide families with sustainable choices. We use essential oils in the gentle and respectful preparation of the body. We dress the deceased in their own clothes, or use an organic cotton shroud or funeral robe. Innovation Embracing technology allows us to provide live-streaming options, virtual memorial services, online memorials and donation pages, ensuring that family and friends can participate regardless of physical distance. Support and Compassion Our compassionate family team is available 24/7 to guide families through the entire process. We understand the importance of empathy and support during these challenging times.
