It is extremely important to the Smith family, that as a family owned and operated funeral home, they offer a personal service with a difference. Our Company Having been a well-respected Funeral Director for many years in Peterborough, in 2010 Ian and his wife Ruth purchased a property on Fletton High Street, Peterborough. They then transformed it into the funeral home it is today. From that point onwards the company has gone from strength to strength delivering the absolute best when it comes to funeral services, which has in turn gained the family a reputation within the community of providing consistent care and compassion as funeral directors. To support the family, a fully trained team of highly professional individuals, who share the same passion and commitment of care and compassion, are available to give personal and discrete service at any time of the day or night, at weekends and on public holidays.
