Funeral Partners has announced that White Dove Funeral Home has joined its network of funeral providers.
Having been established by Vic Dowling and his wife Alison almost 20 years ago, the business has since earned a reputation for providing “compassionate and personal” care to families in their time of need.
While Alison will be taking a step back after a few months, Vic Dowling plans to continue to run White Dove alongside his team as part of Funeral Partners.
Funeral Partners is the third largest funeral business in the UK, comprising more than 280 funeral homes by over 1,000 funeral professionals across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Chief executive Sam Kershaw has over 40 years of experience in the funeral profession, and joined the business in 2016 as chief operating officer.
The group, which celebrated its 15-year anniversary in 2022, has grown rapidly and built a reputation as a “well-run, high-quality” funeral services business overseeing more than 25,000 funerals each year.
Funeral Partners now includes more than 140 family businesses, which have entrusted their reputation and heritage to Funeral Partners.
