About us
Hello and welcome to Burdekin Funerals 
Burdekin Funerals is a family company owned and operated by fifth generation locals Ross and Fiona Northwood, serving the villages of Ayr, Brandon, Giru, Clare and Home Hill and as well as further outerlying areas.
Our motto is 'We're working for you, with you'. We have found the best working model is to be honest and up-front with families, particularly at such a delicate time as arranging a funeral. The loss of a loved one is most often very distressing and trying to arrange a suitable Funeral Service while dealing with all the accompanying details can be quite daunting. We meet with you initially to make arrangements for the funeral, then take action on those arrangements on your behalf, relieving you of a considerable deal of stress.
Too many times families find 'surprises' on the bottom line that they were not prepared for and which can often make a trying time worse. Whilst we are very sympathetic and understanding of people's needs when they are grieving, we also appreciate the fact that at such a time, people also require a little more space both mentally and physically, in order to think clearly. As emotional as things are, we find most families understand the need to 'take care of business', in fact that's a phrase we hear quite often when making funeral arrangements. We meet with you, determine what form you would like the service to take, discuss your budgetary requirements and options and then we continue, taking care of the details while you take care of the family.

In short, we take as much of the load off your shoulders as possible, because it can be a very big load to bear on your own.
It is our privilege to prepare and care for your loved one so that you can rest easy knowing their final chapter has closed with dignity and respect.
