At Simpsons Funeral Directors we have conducted bespoke funeral services for many years. Our founder, Edwin Simpson, who was a respected builder and joiner, worked hard to build Simpsons from scratch. Today, we continue to provide a high quality, professional service to every family in our care.
We are able to help with the arrangement of all kinds of funerals, from a traditional service to a more contemporary ceremony such as a woodland burial or colourful celebration. Our warm and welcoming funeral home in Elland has a large service chapel, holding up to 40 people, which you may use for the funeral should you wish.
We are here to help you every step of the way. You can reach us by telephone at any time, whether you need advice, guidance or support.
Our Simple funeral is available for £1,995 + third party costs, without compromising on the quality of the service that is delivered. Or our Full Service funeral can be tailored just how you wish, whether that be a traditional ceremony or a colourful celebration of life.

It’s perfectly normal to be unsure of what you need to do following the death of a loved one. This guide and checklist will explain the first steps you need to take so you can start making any necessary funeral arrangements.
Our guide to funeral arrangements will help you arrange a fitting funeral for your loved one. Learn more about funeral flowers, popular songs for funerals, our range of coffins and how to write a memorable eulogy.
This guide will explain what happens at a funeral; including the funeral procession, funeral service, committal service and the wake. We will be here to help you through every step of the journey.
Once the funeral service is completed, there are often other matters that will need to be dealt with. This could be regarding legal affairs of the deceased, arranging memorials, or coping with grief. Our funeral professionals can advise you on all of these matters.
I couldn't have been more pleased with the funeral services that we had for my Dad. Nothing was too much trouble, especially considering I was over a hundred miles away trying to organise everything. Compassionate, understanding, professional team who undoubtedly take great pride in all that they do; a fitting send off for my Dad in every way. Thank you

I found the Staff to be very supportive and they all played a part in helping us to arrange the funeral my mum wanted. We were guided through the process and felt nothing was too much trouble. We were kept fully informed of what was happening and at all times were treated with respect and kindness.
