Deben House, IPSWICH, SUFFOLK, IP4 4PW
Farthing Funeral Service's Ipswich branch, at Deben House, 650 Woodbridge Road, is part of a Suffolk business with roots dating to 1840 and now trades as part of Funeral Partners Limited, a national group of around 297 funeral homes. The wheelchair-accessible premises include a private chapel of rest and a dedicated multi-faith space.
The team arranges multi-faith attended and unattended funerals, burials, and green and woodland options, along with memorial masonry, coffin and urn choices, floral tributes, transport and probate assistance, for families across Ipswich. Home visits can be arranged, and pre-paid funeral plans are available through Choice, with 24-hour phone support every day of the year.
The branch is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and publishes standardised pricing, with independent reviews gathered through Much Loved; the wider Farthing group is also noted for community engagement and dog-friendly premises.
