About our Bedford funeral home

At Clarabut & Plumbe Funeral Directors we have served the local community of Bedford since 1895. Our funeral home was built in the early 1960s and is ideally located near the town centre, making it easily accessible for local families in Goldington, Sharnbrook, Biddenham, Bromham, Wilstead, Fenlake and beyond. Our funeral directors are dedicated to helping families to arrange a fitting farewell for your loved one, through providing the utmost care, a high quality service and honouring your cultural or religious requirements. This includes our funeral directors who specialise in Italian funerals and repatriation and our funeral home which has wash and dress facilities suitable for our Sikh and Hindu families. We understand that arranging a funeral can be a difficult and emotional time, so please know that you are not alone, as we are here to help you through every step.
