Peasgood & Skeates has been serving bereaved families across Saffron Walden and the surrounding Essex countryside since 1847, making it one of the area's longest-established independent funeral directors. The firm's Shire Hill office offers a full range of traditional and personalised funeral arrangements, with private facilities for families who wish to visit their loved one before the funeral.
As an independent, family-run business rather than part of a national chain, Peasgood & Skeates prides itself on treating every family individually, with unhurried guidance from that first phone call through to the day of the funeral itself. The team can arrange everything from simple, lower-cost direct cremations to fuller traditional or bespoke services, tailoring each funeral around what the family actually wants.
Clear, transparent pricing is a stated commitment at Peasgood & Skeates, with a published price list setting out costs for direct cremation, attended funerals and additional options, so families know what to expect from the outset.
