Bennetts Funeral Directors Limited - Billericay

Bennetts Funeral Directors has been a family business since 1891, giving it more than 130 years of history serving Essex communities, and is currently led by Jane Bennett. The firm operates from two locations, in Billericay and Brentwood, with the Billericay office based at The Old School House on the High Street, and its reach extends across more than two dozen towns in the county including Chelmsford, Romford, Basildon and Epping.

As well as arranging traditional funerals, woodland burials and cremations, Bennetts provides funeral transport including classic hearses, modern limousines and a distinctive Land Rover Defender hearse, a choice of coffins and caskets, funeral flowers and memorial masonry created by its own stone masons, and services for babies, children and veterans. A chapel of rest, catering and a bereavement support group are also part of its offering.

The company also offers prepaid funeral plans regulated through Golden Charter, an online funeral wish list tool to help families record their wishes in advance, and award-winning bereavement support, positioning itself as a long-standing, locally trusted independent funeral director that blends traditional values with contemporary services. It is a member of the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF).
