We work closely with Holy Sepulchre Church and can arrange for a service to be held there, whether the funeral follows a religious tradition or you simply feel that the setting is meaningful to your family. Our team handles all the coordination with the church on your behalf, so you can focus on being together rather than managing logistics.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and we will come to you — whether the person died at home, in hospital, or elsewhere in the Northampton area. Our team will bring them into our care at our Harborough Road funeral home and give you the space to take a breath before we sit down together to begin making arrangements. There is no pressure to decide anything immediately; we will explain the paperwork and next steps at a pace that suits your family.
Our funeral home on Harborough Road has two on-site parking spaces, and there is also a free car park shared with neighbouring businesses directly behind the building, as well as street parking nearby. The building is fully accessible at ground floor level, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, an accessible toilet, and a ground-floor arrangement room, so families do not need to manage any steps. If you are travelling from across Northampton or further afield along the Nene Valley, our team is always happy to give directions when you call.
Yes, our Kingsthorpe funeral home on Harborough Road serves families across a wide area, including Moulton, Obelisk Rise, Duston, Dallington, and the wider Nene Valley. Wherever you are in or around Northampton, our team will come to you and take care of everything from the moment you call us.
On the day of the cremation, our team will guide your family every step of the way, from the time we leave Harborough Road to the moment the service concludes. We help you plan the order of service, any music or readings you would like, and how long you have in the chapel, so the day feels right for the person who died. Afterwards, we can talk you through your options for the ashes and any further arrangements you may wish to make.
