Award-Winning Service at Full Circle Funerals
At Full Circle Funerals, we are proud to have been recognised for our dedication to compassionate, thoughtful, and innovative funeral care. Our commitment to supporting individuals and families during difficult times has been acknowledged through numerous prestigious awards and nominations over the years, which serve as a testament to our unwavering focus on providing exceptional services.
We have been honored multiple times at the Good Funeral Awards – the only national funeral awards in the UK. These awards celebrate excellence in funeral services, with decisions based on feedback from families and professionals. Winning these awards has meant a great deal to us, as they reflect the positive impact of our approach.
- In 2017, we were delighted to win “Best Modern Funeral Director.”
- In 2018, we were nominated for “Funeral Director of the Year.”
- Recognition continued in 2019 and 2021 as finalists in the categories “Green Funeral Director of the Year” and “Best Newcomer.”
- Most recently, in 2023, we were thrilled to win both “Green Funeral Director of the Year” and “Funeral Director of the Year.” While we haven’t entered the awards since, who knows what 2025 might bring!
Locally, our work has also been celebrated. At the Yorkshire Choice Awards, which honour businesses and individuals making a positive difference in the region, we were finalists in both the “Independent Business of the Year” and “Community Impact” categories. We’ve also been recognized by the Stray Ferret Awards, celebrating excellence in North Yorkshire businesses, where we were proud to be finalists.
In addition to industry accolades, our innovation and commitment to creating a supportive workplace culture have earned international recognition through the Modern Work Awards, highlighting our dedication not only to client care but also to building an empowered and compassionate team. On the national stage, Full Circle represented funeral care as finalists in the prestigious Lloyds Bank Business Excellence Awards 2022.
Our founder, Sarah Jones, has received personal recognition for her leadership and contributions. She was shortlisted in the Stray Ferret Awards as a “Dynamic Leader” for her work as a speaker, campaigner, researcher, author, business leader, and mentor. In 2023, Sarah was also a finalist in the “Mentor of the Year” category at the Connect Yorkshire Awards.
Ultimately, while we strive to ensure that every family we support feels valued, heard, and cared for during their journey with us, this external validation is much appreciated and service to reassure people looking to choose a funeral director.
