Farthing Funeral Service opens branch in Woodbridge
The funeral provider’s Woodbridge branch will be staffed by funeral director Francesca Souter and funeral arranger Ammie Nichols
Farthing Funeral Service has announced the opening of its new premises in Woodbridge, where an office and a dental surgery used to reside.
The business, which is now part of the Funeral Partners network, has operated in the county town of Ipswich since 1840 and also has funeral homes in Felixstowe and Debenham.
Farthing’s Woodbridge branch will be staffed by funeral director Francesca Souter and funeral arranger Ammie Nichols, both of whom live locally, and are “in touch with the needs of the local community”.
Jamie Waters, area development manager at Farthing Funeral Service, said: “We have looked at several properties over the last 18 months, but this was by far the outstanding choice for our new funeral home.
“It is in an ideal location for clients on a main road with ample parking, close to the train station with beautiful views of the River Deben. The refurbishment and new facilities for funeral arrangements and to care for the deceased are both welcoming and of a high standard.”
He added: “We have always looked after families in the Woodbridge area, and we hope having a new funeral home in the town will make it easier for them to access us when they need our services.
“The team and I are looking forward to becoming a bigger part of the community with our involvement in local events and charities, anyone is welcome to pop in for a chat, take a look around or if they need any bereavement support and information on funeral plans. Francesca and Ammie are available and happy to help.”
