As James is a local, having resided in Duffield from the age of two and attending both William Gilbert and Ecclesbourne Schools; leaving the latter in 1988, Qualifying as a Funeral Director in 1990 and as an Embalmer in 1997. He has now realized his ambition of running his own business and giving the kind of personal service and support which is available to Duffiled and surrounding areas. The Hardest part of the first year was arranging and conducting his grandfathers funeral (a Duffiled resident for 50 years) however, how could he not, as it was his grandfather who originally arranged his work.
Experience with Derby Co-operative Funeral
Service when James was just fourteen years old. James runs a 24-hour personal
service and makes sure he is available to families who may have niggling worry
or question to ensure that the process of arranging a funeral is as painless as
possible for them.
Duffield & District Funeral Service opened its doors for
business on June 6th 2005
and after two months of complete renovation the finished result seems to have
been well received.
