About Us

Tracing their origin back to 1867, Gillotts Funeral Directors are a funeral director in Eastwood. They are proud to be an independent family business, offering caring and compassionate funeral services to families in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, although they are also happy to conduct funerals further afield if requested.

In 1867, Star Livery Stables on Victoria Street in Eastwood began providing horse-drawn hearses to local undertakers. The business continued to hire vehicles to undertakers throughout a wide area for many decades, until in the 1970's it became a fully fledged funeral service. In the 1980's it moved to its current location on the main road in Eastwood. Over the years, the business has grown to five funeral homes, through a merger with Gillotts Funeral Service - a long-running business in Heanor, and by opening satellite funeral homes in Stapleford, Kimberley and Selston.

As a true family business, the partners of the business are directly involved with its day to day operation of the funeral home. The partners are Barry and Elaine Hutsby, who have grown the Eastwood side of the business since the 1970's when they joined forces with Elaine's Aunt and Uncle, their daughter Joanne, and Anthony Topley, whose father-in-law founded the Heanor funeral home.

Gillotts Funeral Directors, Eastwood has its own fleet of modern and reliable Jaguar hearses and limousines, and can also arrange for bespoke transport such as horse-drawn hearses and motorbike hearses.

Gillotts Funeral Directors, Eastwood is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and on Saturdays from 9am to 12.30pm, with a 24-hour telephone service. Call now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one

Joanne and the team at Gillotts provided an absolutely first class service in a thoughtful, sensitive and professional manner. They thought of everything and took great care to ensure everything went smoothly throughout especially in what were challenging weather conditions on the actual day. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Amazing service
5 George Ash 23rd Oct 2023

All the staff from Gillotts were exceptionally professional in all aspects of arranging my Dads funeral. From talking us through the various packages they offered through to the day of his cremation. They were very accommodating and took great care not to upset family giving us time to consider all our options. The celebrant they chose for us was also exceptionally good and captured the main aspects of Dads life when delivering his eulogy.
We were all very impressed with the service given and would highly recommend them.

5 Lisa Saviour 18th Sep 2023

I would thoroughly recommend Gillotts Funeral Directors; Claire was very professional but at the same time empathic; helping mum to choose a keepsake finger print piece of jewellery. Claire was transparent , explaining dad’s unattended cremation, but also offering a favourite tune of dad’s to be played as recognition of the person.
