    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. 

    The teams at our West Norwood funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. We have our own service venue at both our funeral homes.

    Here at Yeatman and Sons Funeral Directors we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, 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.

    We can't thank Claire and Tram enough for their kindness, compassion, and support during our family funeral. They cared for us every step of the way at such a difficult time, and we are truly grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
