Funeral Directors in Long Preston, Skipton, North Yorkshire

Independent Family Funeral Director Hello, my name is David, I am a qualified Funeral Director, Embalmer and Past Chairman of The Yorkshire Division of The British Institute of Embalmers and a Bereavement Befriender with over 33 years of experience in the Funeral Profession. Having worked for large Funeral companies and family-owned businesses in Keighley, Bradford, Halifax and Leeds areas, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in bringing together the wishes of the Deceased and their Family alongside the practicalities of arranging a funeral. In 2022 I have finally achieved my greatest ambition -to set up on my own as an Independent Funeral Director, following in the footsteps of my Great Grandfather W. J. Lawson & Son, Cabinet Maker, and Undertaker of Skipton.

For many families, dealing with funeral arrangements after the loss of a loved one is a huge burden. Often, the family and friends of the deceased simply do not know where to begin or are too overwhelmed by their grief to make any decisions. Edwin Pounds & Sons Ltd in Bradford provides professional assistance to the bereaved and can assist with every stage of the funeral arrangements. Since 1904 our funeral home has been helping families and friends say their final goodbyes in a dignified and fitting manner.
