Brook Smith & Son

Craven Herald:

An independent family run funeral directors, providing a personal 24 hour funeral service and support in Skipton and the surrounding areas. Currently run by Howard and Susan Smith, they recently welcomed their daughter Rebecca into the company, offering three generations of experience and service.

Originally, both Susan and Rebecca trained and worked as qualified nurses before Susan became the leading funeral director and Howard runs the in-house monumental side of the business. Proud to offer a personal, professional service with traditional values, they have an appreciation for the modern era and their flexible approach aims to provide you with a funeral of your choice.  

Planning a Funeral service is a very personal thing and at Brook Smith's we believe that it is important to get all the details right and so we will take time and care to guide, advise and oversee all the planning on your behalf.

Death is something that we would rather not think about at the best of times. Nobody wants to contemplate their own death. Nevertheless, anyone with a practical frame of mind will be reluctant to let their family bear the burden of funeral expenses. That is why it makes sense to consider the option of a pre-paid funeral plan.
Paying for your funeral in advance is a wise choice and releases the surviving members of the family from the anxiety of worrying if they can afford the expenses involved in the funeral arrangements.

If you would like some more information on our pre-payment plans, please get in touch and we would be happy to arrange a meeting with you.
