John Blenkiron & Sons was established in 1968 and is today a trading name of Funeral Partners Limited, a national network of around 297 branches across England and Wales. The Richmond branch, based at Victoria House, has a sister branch in Barnard Castle, and together they serve communities across Richmondshire, North Yorkshire and County Durham, with home visits and 24-hour telephone availability.
The firm arranges cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations and repatriation, alongside memorial masonry, coffin selection, urns and keepsakes, transport, online tributes, probate assistance, floral tributes and funeral stationery. Prepaid funeral plans and direct cremation packages are available through Choice Funeral Plans, and the branch is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors, with funerals starting from £1,750 excluding third-party fees.
The team describes its aim as creating tailored funerals that reflect the unique life of the person who has died, and independent reviews on the Much Loved platform consistently highlight staff compassion and attention to detail throughout the arrangement process.
