Our Story
Hello my name is Susan. I’d like to share a little about how Ellsmore Funeral Directors began. It was my own personal journey with grief and pain that led me to this profession.
In 2017 I lost both of my parents within six months of each other. My Mother Bernadette was my best friend and her passing was the hardest thing I have ever dealt with. My dad lived in Ireland so his arrangements were taken care of by other family members but I took care of my moms final journey.
Making these arrangements and going to the funeral home was extremely distressing and it felt very cold and scary. I did not understand the almost haunting environment that I found myself in.
The weeks that followed were very hard and I knew I had to do something positive with my grief. I wanted my mom to be remembered and for her to be proud of me. So I channelled everything into helping others during their journey of grief and loss.
Our funeral home is warm and inviting and our families comment, time and time again at how at ease they feel when they are with us. Our chapel of rest is named after my mother it gives me great comfort to know that her legacy is helping other families deal with their grief. I’m really proud of our small business and our team at Ellsmore’s that dedicate themselves and go over and above, to give each and every family the most dignified send off.
Our Services

Funeral Services
Funerals are an emotionally difficult thing for many people to have to plan and arrange. Ellsmore Funerals can be there to help you during this difficult time and take care of any funeral plans and arrangements you may have. Funerals are very final and are the best way to say goodbye to someone who has passed away.

Funeral & Burial Plans
When someone, unfortunately, passes away, it is a very sad time to have to think about making funeral arrangements and it can be difficult for bereaved people to know where to turn to. We want to be able to help you and provide the best advice during this sad time.

Gravestones & Headstones
Many bereaved family members will want some form of memorial for the deceased, and this for many people takes the form of a gravestone. This will be a timeless memorial for the passed on loved one and memorialises their life.
Our Funeral Packages
Corporately owned funeral homes pose as a “Mom and Pop” operation, attempting to reap the goodwill developed over prior generations. More concerned with sales goals, bonuses, volume targets, and keeping shareholders happy, the corporate owned funeral home charges 30-40% more on average than its independently owned competition. Don’t expect the conglomerate owned business to advertise their affiliation or ownership out in the open.
