Collier & Brain Funeral Directors, based at The Cross, Drybrook, Gloucestershire, is an independent funeral home now owned and operated by Ernest Heal & Sons, offering direct cremation, simple services and traditional attended funerals to the village and surrounding districts.
The business was established in 1938 through a partnership between Trevor Collier and John Brain and thrived through the 1960s and 70s before passing into the ownership of Ernest Heal & Sons, who had a long association with the firm. Day-to-day operations are run by Robin Hughes, a longtime employee with deep local community knowledge.
The firm offers Golden Charter funeral plans, coordinates with hospitals, clergy and crematoria, and provides 24-hour bereavement assistance.
