Funeral Directors Harrogate

Local Funeral Directors Harrogate

Full Circle Funerals is a female-led, modern funeral service – we have been funeral directors since 2016 and believe in the value of person-centred support. Many of our funeral directors have a background in health, social or pastoral care and we won the “Best Modern Funeral Director” award in the national Good Funeral Awards.

We believe that our physical environment has a significant impact on how we feel and for this reason we have made sure that our service is warm and welcoming. We also understand that sometimes people feel that they would rather us visit them in their homes (or at a different location convenient for them) and we are more than happy to accommodate any such request.  To see what our funeral service in Harrogate looks like please see some images below. You can also watch a video tour of our funeral service in Harrogate.

We are proud to say that our service in Harrogate is also recommended by the Good Funeral Guide and you can find our full inspection report by following the link to their website.

I had the opportunity to take a look around the Full Circle Funerals parlour with a few of my colleagues. We were shown where they talk to the families they are caring for and showed us the different types of coffins you could choose from as well as a few other areas. They talked us through the most environmentally friendly materials and what would work best for the type of funeral you wanted. The staff there were wonderful and made sure we were okay if any sensitive topics came up. Will definitely recommend them to future clients if they need help with their funeral plans!

As it became clear that we were in my dad's final few weeks I took a look at Full Circle's website and thought it promised more flexibility than traditional funeral services.When the end came for my dad, my first contact with Full Circle was treated with kindness and efficiency, which followed through every subsequent stage.Jodie patiently talked us through the necessary process and let us work out what we thought would be suitable, based on dad's personality and his last wishes. The flexibility we'd hoped for was what we experienced, rather than being led by convention we were able to do what felt right.At such a difficult time you need a combination of kindness, unbiased advice and professionalism - we got all of that from Full Circle.

We lost two immediate family members in 2024, six months apart, and used Full Circle Funerals, Harrogate for both. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were very empathetic and made the process as easy as possible, given the circumstances, and walked us through all the decisions we needed to make and took everything else off our shoulders.
Response from the owner 10:05 09 Jan 25
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It was an honour to help and support you through both of these funerals.

After the recent passing of my father, I couldn’t recommend this wonderful service enough. Anne is remarkable at her job, addressing the person who has passed individually at every interaction, keeping a calm compassionate staff and atmosphere, and attending to each small detail faultlessly.Our family extends our full trust to Full circle - now and in future.First class.

Full Circle Funerals were fantastic from the very start. Myself and my daughters felt completely supported, yet also free to design a funeral that felt absolutely right for my husband. Their staff are knowledgeable, kind and totally professional. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I can’t thank Anne at Full Circle funerals enough. Organising a funeral for your own child is not something I ever imagined having to do! It’s so emotionally overwhelming that I don’t think we’d have ever managed to give her the send off that she deserved had we gone elsewhere. Nothing was too much trouble and every idea we came up with was met with kind enthusiasm and encouragement. We didn’t want a traditional style funeral for our vibrant daughter. Anne guided us through options and researched alternatives that we came up with. I felt that she cared for our daughter as if she were her own, making me feel comforted. We called and went into chat with her numerous times. Every time we received the same attention and care. Anne made everything run perfectly, from the brightly, slightly unusual coffin, placement of the flowers, cars music and visual tributes. The professionalism that all the staff exhibited was outstanding. What was undoubtedly the very worst day in my life was made a little easier by Anne and all at Full Circle. Thank goodness places like this now exist. Obviously not somewhere you want to visit, but if it’s important to you to give your loved one a good send off, the way you imagined, then pop in here for a chat before just heading to anywhere else. Thankyou so much Full Circle Harrogate.

Really pleased we were able to give Mum the sustainable funeral she asked for. Full Circle were able to provide detailed information about all the options available allowing us to choose just what she would have wanted. The team were professional and empathetic throughout and we were glad to have had their support. Thank you.

Things to remember about planning a funeral service

 

There are several ways to approach arranging a funeral. The person who has died may have made their wishes clear, in which case you only need to respect them and plan according to the instructions. If they have not, it may be that a traditional funeral or cremation will be the right choice for you.. Alternatively, they (or their family and friends) might prefer a more personal and individual funeral plan to send them off.

Working with the right funeral director can make a big difference during what can otherwise be a difficult time. Our independent funeral directors’ Harrogate office supports anyone who wants to make funeral plans in the area, including in the local community and nearby towns. We can discuss your needs and advise you of the options available, so you can make sure your funeral arrangements meet your exact needs. Whether you want a simple funeral with a very traditional approach, a direct cremation, or an eco-friendly option with electric funeral vehicles, we can help.

With our experience, Full Circle Funerals can offer advice and additional support throughout the process of creating a funeral, from writing and placing funeral notices to choosing a local business to cater the event or provide the flowers. At every stage, we will work to understand what you want to achieve and help you to make sure the funeral service you hold reflects the life of the person who has died.

You can also browse our range of funeral services here on our site to learn more about what is available, and find out more about the innovative approaches we offer that are at the cutting edge of the funeral industry. Otherwise, you can speak to our funeral directors in Harrogate for more detailed information about funeral services and memorial products, or to get advice on making the right funeral arrangements for someone who has died.

Ruth is a talented professional with a wonderful style- she made us feel like we were the only funeral she had to organise, did not impose but was always there when something needed to be decided or agreed, and had good ideas of how our wishes might come to fruition. Thankyou.

I was completely supported by David in all areas. I was at an absolute loss as to what to do with any of the arrangements and his knowledge, understanding and respect, all helped ensure Richard’s funeral to be a wonderful celebration of his life. I am so grateful.
