Derwentside Funeral Service is an independent, family-run funeral director founded in 1981 and registered as a limited company (no. 10612981), headquartered in Annfield Plain, County Durham. Over more than 40 years the business has grown into a network of four funeral homes across the Derwentside area - the Annfield Plain head office, Stanley, Consett (Fynes House) and Rowlands Gill - allowing it to serve Consett, Stanley, Rowlands Gill and the wider Derwentside area from a local branch in each community.
The firm offers traditional, cremation and eco-friendly funerals, a dedicated funeral fleet, floral tributes and monumental masonry, along with catering and other additional services for the funeral day, all backed by a 24-hour service. It is a member of SAIF (the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors) and acts as an appointed representative of Golden Leaves Limited (FCA Firm Reference 960923) for pre-paid funeral plans.
The company describes dignity, trust, unrivalled care and attention to both the bereaved and the deceased as its core priorities, and is active in local charitable giving - in 2025 alone it collected £45,937.26 on behalf of local families in support of community causes.
