Turner & Wilson (Whitwell) Ltd

Turner & Wilson (Whitwell) Ltd is an independent funeral director based in Whitwell, near Worksop, serving families across Worksop, Sheffield, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. The firm handles traditional attended funerals, direct cremation and pre-paid funeral planning, alongside extras such as horse-drawn hearses and limousines, memorial stones through Beecroft Memorials, ashes-into-glass keepsakes, and bespoke caskets.

The business was established in 1970 when Nigel Turner's father, Ray, and business partner Brian Wilson acquired the practice from a previous employer, William Staples. Nigel grew up around the business, helping his father from an early age before taking on leadership himself, and today runs the firm with business partner Christopher Walters, continuing the family's involvement in the village. The company holds memberships with the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), the British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD) and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), and is an appointed representative of Golden Charter for funeral plans, regulated by the FCA. The firm also sponsors local cricket and bowls clubs as part of its community involvement.

Unusually for an independent, the funeral home operates from Nigel's own residence in Whitwell, which includes a private chapel of rest to the rear of the house. The business operates a 24-hour service, reachable on 01909 720543 or a mobile out-of-hours number, and publishes a standardised price list for families comparing costs.
