J J Burgess & Sons is an independent, family-run funeral director established in 1839, with the Burgess family's roots in Hatfield tracing back to the 1700s as clock makers and publicans before moving into funeral services. Hatfield, at Alfred House on The Common, serves as the group's head office.
Services include traditional attended funerals, direct cremation (the 'Bluebell' package), non-religious and humanist services, eco-friendly green funerals, sympathy flowers, modern and classic funeral vehicles, memorials through Burgess Memorials, and pre-paid funeral plans, with 24/7 support year-round.
The group also operates branches in St Albans, London Colney, Codicote, Knebworth and Welwyn Garden City, and publishes standardised, crematorium and themed package (Rose, Bluebell, Snowdrop, Oak) price lists.
