Our History

Your local Funeral Director in Woodthorpe, Sheffield

After finishing school, Michael began his apprenticeship with independent funeral directors in the Sheffield area.

With over 25 years of experience, and having witnessed many family-run funeral homes being taken over by national companies, Michael was inspired to establish his own independent company, founded on traditional values and a personal, compassionate approach.

Michael brought decades of experience and knowledge to the business, drawing on the training he received from respected traditional funeral directors. His commitment to caring for families helped shape the service the company continues to provide today.

Today, the business is owned by the Jepson family, who bring five generations of experience in funeral directing from across Derbyshire. We are proud to continue the personal service that Michael established, while caring for the business and the families it serves into the future.
