J.P Springthorpe & Co is a privately owned, family-run funeral director and, by its own description, the only such business serving Ashby de la Zouch and Melbourne. Run by John Springthorpe, the firm operates from a Potter Street office in Melbourne alongside its Ashby de la Zouch base, covering both the Leicestershire and Derbyshire sides of the local community.
The team offers a comprehensive range of options, from simple direct cremation to a fully bespoke, personalised service, supporting families from the first phone call through to the funeral itself. Transparent pricing is a stated priority, with published rate schedules available so families know costs upfront, and both locations feature private, off-street parking for visiting families.
The business aims to make funeral planning and execution as straightforward as possible, combining a personal, professional approach with reasonable costs and round-the-clock, 24/7/365 availability for families needing support at any time.
