"Supporting families is at the heart of what we do" pledges funeral boss one year on from takeover
“We are incredibly grateful for the trust the community has placed in us over this past year”
Manor House Funeral Directors new owner Danny Boyes has vowed that “supporting families through some of life’s most difficult moments” is at the heart of the business one year on after taking over one of the city’s most respected funeral service organisers.
One year on since taking over Manor House on Blackwood Road, Town End Farm, Danny said the transition to new ownership has “proven to be a seamless one, with the business continuing to uphold its longstanding values of compassion, dignity and exceptional care while embracing fresh ideas for the future”.
When the ownership changed hands last year, many local families understandably wondered whether the personal service and familiar atmosphere they had come to rely on would remain unchanged.
Danny said: “Our priority from day one was to honour the legacy that had been built over many years. This funeral home has always been about people first – supporting families through some of life’s most difficult moments with kindness, professionalism and genuine care. That commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.”
Over the past year, the funeral provider has continued to serve people across the city, with families having praised the team’s “compassionate guidance offered throughout the funeral planning process and the attention paid to even the smallest details”.
Danny has been keen to ensure the company is at the heart of the local community and has supported a number of local charity and remembrance events.
He said: “We are incredibly grateful for the trust the community has placed in us over this past year. Every family we serve is unique, and it is a privilege to help them celebrate the lives of their loved ones with dignity and respect.
“As we move forward, our promise is simple: to continue serving this community with the same compassion and dedication that has defined this funeral home for generations.
“While ownership may have changed, the values that have made this funeral home such an important part of the community remain as strong as ever.”
Danny added that the focus of Manor House remains firmly on maintaining the highest standards of care while adapting to the changing needs of modern families.
