Archway Funeral Service

Archway Funeral Service has been serving Ripley, Crich, Alfreton and the wider Derbyshire area since 1987. The business is run by husband-and-wife proprietors Terry and Andrea Daniel, who were both born and raised in Crich and are well known figures in the village, giving the firm genuine local roots rather than a franchised or corporate presence. Now with over 40 years of experience behind it, the firm operates from its premises on Chapel Street in Ripley under the guiding motto "Putting People First", with a stated commitment to treat every client as an individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

The firm's services cover the full arrangement of a funeral, from initial planning consultations through to coffin selection and transport, catering and wakes, and the provision of memorials, along with dedicated cremation services. Pricing is set out across three separate published lists - Standard, Options and Cremation - so families can see the different levels of service available before committing. Archway is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), and it maintains an active blog offering guidance on funeral planning topics, alongside a callback request facility for families who want to be contacted directly rather than phoning in the first instance.
