Your Trusted Funeral Directors in Northampton
Established in 1965 by Richard F.J. Finch and Nora I. Finch, our independent family funeral home has served Northampton with unwavering dedication for over five decades. We relocated to our current premises at Military Road in 1970, where we have continually expanded our facilities to include Northampton's only dedicated remembrance room and book, alongside a spacious car park accommodating over 20 vehicles. Our fleet of brand-new Jaguar hearses and limousines ensures families receive the highest standard of service during their most challenging times. Every funeral is personally directed by our partners, Richard and Adam Finch, who bring combined expertise spanning over 80 years. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our motto, 'Ask a family we have served,' and our 24/7 availability to support bereaved families.We pride ourselves on maintaining the same care and attention to detail for every funeral, whether traditional, cremation, or bespoke arrangements. Our services extend beyond the funeral itself, including assistance with probate, social fund applications, and memorial arrangements. The third generation of the Finch family now contributes to our operations, ensuring continuity in our compassionate approach. We operate without pressure, allowing families the time needed to reflect the deceased's personality in funeral plans. Our website hosts a digital Book of Remembrance, containing every funeral conducted since our inception, underscoring our enduring legacy in the community.
