    About A Yeatman & Sons Funeral Directors

    A Yeatman & Sons Funeral Directors was founded in West Norwood in 1886 by Albert Yeatman, an already accomplished stonemason.

    Albert’s two sons Horace and William were soon part of the expanding masonry business, which they inherited when Albert passed away in 1902. As fashion reduced demand for monumental masonry through the 20th century, Yeatman’s diversified and became locally renowned as undertakers. 

    Our experienced and caring team will advise and support you at every stage of the funeral planning process, with a wide range of funeral options and transparent pricing. With our extensive experience serving the local communities within West Norwood, we endeavour to cater to every funeral request to ensure that your loved one is treated with the utmost care and respect.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Pre-paid Funeral Plans, please come and see us in our funeral home, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
