Austin's Funeral Service, Harpenden

Austin's has been family-owned and operated for over 300 years, running 13 offices across Hertfordshire including its headquarters at Harwood Park, where the family established Harwood Park Crematorium and Memorial Gardens in 1997. This branch, at 53-55 High Street, Harpenden, opened more recently, in April 2022, and is run by Funeral Administrator Theresa Jones from a beautifully appointed private arrangement room; the office has built a 5-star Trustpilot rating in its short time on the High Street, with street parking available directly outside.

The Harpenden office offers a chapel of rest for families to visit their loved one before the service, and provides three personalised funeral plan options alongside traditional funeral arrangements, floral tributes, crematorium bookings and full 24/7 support. As part of the wider Austin's group, the branch also offers direct cremation and funeral plans through Ecclesiastical Planning Services, with the group as a whole emphasising professionalism, dedication and a caring, sympathetic and sensitive service reflected across its Hertfordshire offices.
