Austin's Funeral Service, Hitchin

Austin's has been family-owned and operated for over 300 years, running 13 offices across Hertfordshire alongside its headquarters at Harwood Park, where the family established Harwood Park Crematorium and Memorial Gardens in 1997. This branch, at 76-77 Hermitage Road, Hitchin, is run by Funeral Administrator Caroline Green (LAFD, Adv Cert FAA) and has served families in Hitchin for many years, giving the welcoming team - which holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating - a deep understanding of local customs and venues.

The Hitchin office provides two tastefully appointed chapels of rest for families to visit their loved one, plus a private arrangement room for consultations, and offers the full range of Austin's services including traditional ceremonies and personalised farewells with music, floral tributes and readings, and advice on church services, cremation and natural burial. As part of the wider Austin's group, the branch also offers direct cremation and funeral plans through Ecclesiastical Planning Services, all provided 24 hours a day.
