John Saunders & Son has served Luton families since the late 1800s, holding a funeral invoice dated 1873, and remains an independent family business operating from its original workshop building on Duke Street.
The firm offers arrangements from bespoke traditional funerals to simple low-cost options, 24/7 personally-answered phones, continuity of care with the same staff member, and partners with Memory Giving for charitable donations.
The website is genuinely active with NAFD and SAIF accreditation, current testimonials and a standardised price list, though no reference to "E Franklin & Co" appears on the current site.
