Funeral Manager

Hare Hatch Reading, United Kingdom

April 2009 - Present

Funeral Partners Limited was founded in 2007 by Phillip Greenfield, as he recognised the need for a well-run, high-quality group of funeral directors that would provide communities with a service that could be relied upon nationwide. Since then growth has been rapid, as our name for integrity and honesty has attracted independent funeral homes throughout the country. They have appreciated our deep knowledge of the industry as several of our senior employees were born and raised in family-run funeral businesses themselves. Our commitment is to build upon every acquired funeral homes’ business whilst retaining its heritage and reputation within its local community. We put in the investment, training and improved processes in order to build a brand with a reputation for reliability, trust and quality. Funeral Partners is now the third largest funeral services provider in the country, with over 180 funeral homes, more than 650 employees and overseeing over 13,000 funerals annually. At the end of December 2017 Phillip Greenfield retired from his role as Chief Executive and Sam Kershaw, who joined Funeral Partners in 2016 as Chief Operating Officer, was appointed as the new Chief Executive in January 2018.
