Tracy Roberts 5th Dec 2024

I cannot recommend Gillott’s Funeral Directors highly enough. From the beginning, they were everything we could have hoped for: personal, professional, and deeply compassionate. My late mother had pre-arranged a funeral plan with them, and we discovered she had thoughtfully organized a number of surprises for us. The team ensured every single detail was carried out flawlessly. They treated her wishes with the utmost care and went above and beyond to honor them. Throughout the process, they offered immense support and showed genuine empathy, which made a difficult time much easier for our family. Their attention to detail and commitment to making the day special for us were remarkable. If you are looking for a funeral director who truly cares and delivers a service that feels both personal and meaningful, I wholeheartedly recommend you use Gillotts.

Thank you to Gillotts Heanor branch for their faultless service in caring for my late husband.  We were met with professionalism, care and compassion from collection of my loved one at home to the completion of the funeral. Anthony guided us through every step of the process and his recommendations met our family needs perfectly. A difficult journey was made easier by the way everything was taken care of by Anthony and the team. I will be forever grateful for your services.

About Us

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

The origins of the Heanor funeral home go back to the Second World War, when Ernest Brewin started a joiner's workshop and undertakers - at that time a common combination - on Abbott Street. His nephew Jack Gillott later bought the business from his uncle, and the business became Gillotts Funeral Service. Jack's son-in-law Anthony Topley joined him in the business, and in 1992 when Jack retired, the business merged with Eastwood & District Funeral Service, and Anthony became part of the newly formed partnership.

The team at the Heanor funeral home consists of funeral directors Anthony Topley and Helen Ellis, and Funeral Administrator Amanda Outram, who all have years of experience and will be on hand to guide you through every step of the funeral arrangement.

Gillotts Funeral Directors has its own fleet of modern and reliable Jaguar hearses and limousines, ensuring that you can travel with dignity and comfort to the funeral.

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

  • 5 David Parkin 20th Jun 2024

    I found Gillotts Funeral Directors were very easy to deal with as they have a local branch which was better to visit than deal over the phone. They explained what would happen at the funeral and also found a celebrant to take the funeral.
    Everything went as well as it could on the day and I would recommend Gillotts to anyone in need of their services.
