Harpin's Funeral Service

Harpin's Funeral Service has been providing services within the local area for over 90 years. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone.

In 1930, Leonard and Vera Harpin purchased their first Rolls Royce. Through hard work, this soon increased to a fleet of two hearses and thirteen limousines. The limousines were originally used for a variety of purposes, such as weddings and not kept just for funeral work. They also hired the fleet to Funeral Directors in the area who didn’t own their own vehicles. The teams at our funeral homes w

ill provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process. We have a large selection of memorial masonry for you to choose from. We are also able to arrange additional works such as inscriptions and renovations on existing memorials, as part of our service, we will assist you with the completion and submission of the appropriate documentation. If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral come and see us, or we can arrange a home visit.
