WRR Pugh & Son is a fourth-generation, family-owned independent funeral director established in 1890 and now in its 135th year of serving Shrewsbury. The firm operates from historic riverside premises at 133 Longden Coleham dating back to the early 1800s, alongside a second office at 87 Whitchurch Road, and is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant.
Pugh's offers a private chapel of rest for visits, embalming, direct cremation, and personalised arrangement planning covering flowers, jewellery and orders of service, alongside stone masonry and cremated remains options. The firm also provides legal support, guidance on wills and probate, and access to bereavement counselling resources for families it supports.
The team describes its work as an honour rather than simply a job, with an emphasis on peace of mind and personalisation throughout the arrangement process, and provides round-the-clock support for bereaved families, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
