Independent Funeral Directors
Full Circle Funerals is proudly independent and female-led. Most of our award-winning team have previously worked within health, social or pastoral care and we believe this helps us to care for people in a uniquely compassionate, flexible way.
We can help with traditional or more modern, alternative funerals and everything in between. We are experienced in local, greener or eco-friendly funerals and if you are considering a direct cremation then we can help. We will always support you to ensure every funeral is as individual and meaningful as possible. We know the small details matter, so nothing is too much trouble.
We will never tell you how things “should be done” but will support you to understand and consider your choices, so that you can decide what is right for you, your family and friends in an open, transparent way.
Our expert team is uniquely positioned to support you for the best funeral arranging experience possible. We will empower you with the knowledge to navigate funeral options and always give you freedom of choice. We will take the time to listen and you will always have a consistent point of contact, with transparent pricing and processes. Our premises match our people. We offer calm, inviting, reassuring spaces for you and your family with a welcoming atmosphere.
Many people have told us that clear and simple information is very helpful immediately after bereavement. You may find the step-by-step section of this website helpful, and blogs such as “where to start when arranging a funeral”. We are recommended by the Good Funeral Guide and Natural Death Centre and all our services are members of trade associations (which means all our services have been inspected by independent experts).

From the moment we walked into the Guiseley branch, we knew we were in very capable hands. Dad was made to feel like a human, and the premises exude an undeniable warmth—even the offer of a tea or coffee each time we visited made all the difference at a very tough and painful time for the Ellis family.
The team at Guiseley have been absolutely fantastic, their empathy and understanding made a difficult time a little easier to bear.
Thank you so much.
Ruth immediately greeted us with her profound sensitivity, remarkable compassion and utter professionalism. She made what was the most difficult and brave spur of the moment appointment of our lives, so easy, relaxed and remarkably special. I truly believe that we were suppose to meet with Ruth that day.
There are a thousand words I could write about Ruth and our experience as a family, and indeed how she guided me, single handedly through the most difficult time of my life, encompassing various family complexities and issues, in life as well as death. But put simply, if there was ever any one person to guide you through the most difficult, unpredictable and frightening storm of your life, the only person I would choose to carry out such a difficult task, would be Ruth. She is a truly remarkable professional and an incredible human being.
Thank you for looking after Mum, the way she very specifically wanted you to. In life and in death. You have made the biggest imprint on my heart.
We used full circle many years ago in fact I think as a family we were there first funeral for our wonderful Uncle , years later we lost our very precious Mum and there wouldn’t have been anyone else we would have trusted to give our Mum the beautiful send off she deserved
David we can’t thank you enough you went above and beyond ,you know what you did for us and we will forever remember how special you made it
Thank you to all the team from the bottom of our hearts ❤️
When the time came, we were helped by the Martin at Full Circle to decide on just what we wanted for our mother and how best it could be brought about. There were lots of things to consider and lots of options available. This enabled us to have the quite, personal, family funeral we wanted.
Full Circle provided us with a thoroughly professional service, helping us with all aspects of the process, to create a bespoke funeral meeting our family wishes. Nothing was too much trouble.

Above and beyond anything I could have imagined. At our first meeting Sarah told me that we would create a final, beautiful and special memory with Andrew… Everyone told me how perfect it was…We all felt that the service truly reflected how much Andrew was loved, which was what I wanted. I would wish the same of anyone else having to go through this process.
