From our Family to your family We will never try and force you to buy something you don’t need.

Our small independent and highly respected business has become the gold standard for funeral services. Having now opened my own premises in The local Derby community's I will continue to offer that same professional service and further develop our reputation as one of the finest independent funeral directors in the country

I have many years of experience working with a major funeral director and have conducted hundreds of services. Now with my own business my priority is always to the families I serve and to carry out their exact wishes to the highest standards possible. I completely understand what a painful time you are experiencing and alongside my staff will do my very best to make sure you are given the best advice, which I know will bring comfort at such a painful time. You can be assured my approach is flexible, honest and open and that my attention to detail will ensure that everything goes smoothly. You may have lots of ideas about the sort of service you would like or you may be feeling unsure and looking for guidance .I passionately believe that my company is here to serve families and to offer lots of choice, ultimately delivering exactly what you want. I will always be mindful of your budget. There will be no hidden costs or extras. You will know at the start exactly how much your final bill will be, which I am sure will bring you great peace of mind. When you need me I will be there, ready to offer support, understanding and a completely professional and bespoke service .

FOUR OFFICES. ONE FAMILY. ONE NAME YOU CAN TRUST.

MARC STEPHENS FUNERAL SERVICES

We’re not a national chain.

We’re not a television advert.

We’re not a call centre hundreds of miles away.

We’re an independent, family-run funeral service, with four local offices serving Derby, Swadlincote and the surrounding communities.

📍 Allenton

📍 Mackworth

📍 Shelton Lock

📍 Swadlincote

Four offices. Local people. Real funeral directors.

Whether you require a simple unattended cremation or a traditional funeral with a hearse, limousine and every detail carefully arranged, we’re here.

We believe local families deserve exceptional service without having to pay excessive prices.

We aren’t here to be the biggest funeral company.

We’re here to be the one families remember for all the right reasons.

❤️ SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES – OUR COMMUNITIES NEED YOU! ❤️

Times are tough for so many businesses at the moment. From independent shops and cafés to florists, tradespeople, family-run businesses and local services, many are working incredibly hard just to keep their doors open.

Behind every small business is a person, a family, a dream and often years of hard work and sacrifice.

When you choose to shop locally, you’re doing so much more than making a purchase. You’re helping to support local jobs, families and the communities we all call home.

Supporting local doesn’t always mean spending money.

❤️ Recommend a local business to a friend.

❤️ Share their social media posts.

❤️ Leave a kind review.

❤️ Choose an independent business whenever you can.

❤️ Spread the word about the wonderful businesses on your doorstep.

Our high streets and communities wouldn’t be the same without them.

Small businesses need our support now more than ever. Let’s look after one another.

❤️ When you support local, you’re supporting someone’s livelihood, not just a business.

We are often asked, “How much does a traditional funeral actually cost?”

Our answer is simple.

No complicated packages. No unexpected extras for the services included. Just a dignified, traditional funeral arranged by your local independent funeral director.

❤️ WHAT DOES £3,895 INCLUDE?

⚜️ Our professional funeral directing services

⚜️ Bringing your loved one into our care

We believe that choosing an affordable funeral should never mean sacrificing tradition, dignity or quality.

We are not a large national company. We are local funeral directors, with traditional values and a genuine commitment to the communities we serve.

The photograph shows our own funeral vehicles — something we have always taken great pride in.

A little throwback to around four years ago… ❤️

A lovely photograph outside Marc Stephens Funeral Services, showing our gentlemen and our beautiful Jaguar funeral vehicles.

I’ve always believed that presentation, professionalism and attention to detail are incredibly important in funeral directing.

From the immaculate vehicles to the traditional uniforms, every detail matters when a family places their trust in us.

Behind every funeral is a team of dedicated gentlemen who take enormous pride in their work, treating every family and their loved ones with the dignity, care and respect they deserve.

Traditional values, beautiful vehicles and a genuine pride in our profession.

A photograph that brings back some wonderful memories.

😂 WE NEED TO HAVE A WORD ABOUT OUR NEIGHBOURS! 😂

Honestly, some people have absolutely no consideration for the businesses next door!

Every single day we have to put up with the most dreadful conditions…

💐 Beautiful fresh flowers everywhere.

🌷 An outrageous amount of colour brightening up the place.

🌸 Lovely floral fragrances drifting through the air.

🎁 Gorgeous gifts and arrangements tempting everyone who walks past.

☕ And to make matters worse, the constant, irresistible smell of freshly brewed Rijo coffee!

It’s absolutely disgraceful! 😂

We’re trying to run a respectable funeral directors here, and next door they’re making the whole place feel like a little corner of paradise!

We’ve considered making a formal complaint, but unfortunately they keep offering us coffee.

Some neighbours really are impossible to dislike! ❤️

With love from the long-suffering neighbours of Mrs Bouquet 💐😂

Final Journey, A Wonderful Tribute. 🚛🖤

Today at Trent Valley Crematorium, we witnessed a truly remarkable display of friendship, loyalty and respect.

Eight magnificent lorries stood proudly together in the car park, while fellow drivers lined the driveway to form a guard of honour as the funeral cortège made its way through.

A powerful and moving tribute to a gentleman who was clearly held in great affection and respect by those who knew and worked alongside him.

Sometimes, it is the simplest gestures that speak the loudest. Today was certainly one of those occasions.

It was a privilege for us at Marc Stephens Funeral Service to conduct today’s funeral and witness such a wonderful farewell.

Our sincere condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.

Independent, Family Funeral Directors

🖤 Because every life deserves a fitting farewell.

🐴☀️ Dreaming of Warmer Days and Beautiful Horses… ☀️🐴

As the colder weather draws in and winter approaches, it’s lovely to look back at those beautiful summer days with our magnificent horses and traditional funeral carriages.

There’s something truly special about the sight of beautifully turned-out horses, the gleaming carriages and the timeless elegance of a horse-drawn funeral procession.

The pride, the tradition and the attention to every little detail make these occasions so memorable.

A horse-drawn carriage is more than just a way of making a final journey. It’s a beautiful and dignified tribute, honouring a loved one in a way that has stood the test of time.

Here’s to warmer days, magnificent horses and keeping these wonderful traditions alive. 🐴❤️
