About Us...

We've been supporting local communities in and around Coventry for over a century, testament to our strength of reputation in providing an exceptional funeral and customer experience over the years. As one of Coventry's longest established funeral directors we pride ourselves on anticipating and responding to our customer's needs in a respectful and trustworthy way.
As well as our original premises in the Stoke area of Coventry, we now have local branches in Leamington Spa and Kenilworth, supporting local communities throughout Warwickshire.

Our Founder, Henry Ison, started his working life as a wheelwright before moving into the funeral business at the turn of the 20th century. Today we're still based on Binley Road where Henry first started. As his business expanded a second premises was opened on Allesley Old Road in Chapelfields at the Old Watchmakers Factory. This branch relocated, to incorporate a chapel of rest just a short distance away on the same road, next door to Stephen Hill Stonemasons.
