FA Stockill & Son Funeral Directors

F.A. Stockill & Son has been arranging funerals since 1927, making it a family-run independent with almost a century of service to Scarborough and the surrounding area, including Pickering, Whitby, Driffield, Malton and York. The firm is based in Snainton, positioned between Pickering and Scarborough, and has its own private Chapel of Rest on site. It's a strong performer in its field too, having been named Independent Funeral Directors of the Year 2024 by the Prestige Awards.

The practice describes itself as believing "there is no such thing as a regular funeral," and tailors each arrangement to the family's preferences, helping with music selection, bespoke Orders of Service, charitable donation collections and ash scattering. Its reach extends beyond North Yorkshire through international repatriation work, having arranged transfers of loved ones home from as far afield as Germany, the USA and Thailand.

Bereavement support is offered free through its SAIF Care partnership, and the practice is also an appointed representative of Golden Charter for pre-paid funeral plans. Services cover traditional, burial and cremation funerals, non-religious and green options, and repatriation, along with transport, flowers, music, catering and memorial or headstone work, all available on a 24-hour basis.
