Alternative hearses can be brought in, for example horse and carriage to motorbike and sidecar.

    I cannot praise H Biffens enough. They were 1st class in every aspect of their services for my partner John Lowe. With John having to be repatriated, they took care of everything on arrival in the UK. At such a difficult time for me, they were there  to support and give valuable advise and guidance. Nothing was any problem for them, regardless of the visits to their office and questions I kept asking them and Sarah Biffen was always available anytime of the day. I recommend them every time. Their family really do take care of yours.

  • 5 Jan Angell 9th Nov 2024

    From the moment I had contact from H Biffens@sons ltd, they advised me that Sarah would contact me to discuss my husband’s funeral wishes and arrangements, from the beginning Sarah showed compassion and empathy, at no point did I feel that they could not provide me with my requests, any questions or enquiries I needed answering after the initial meeting were always answered either by Sarah or her professional team, my whole experience from the beginning to the funeral of my husband have been dealt with true professionalism, I would highly recommend them to assist anyone who is experiencing grief regarding the passing of a loved one,should consider using this funeral company
