Wimborne (38 Rowlands Hill, BH21 1AW) This is were the company started from in 1974 when Nicholas along with his father Alfred (Pat), and his mother Brenda, converted Somerleigh Court, from a Nursing Home into what remains our Head offices today.

The facilities here include 3 viewing chapels of rest; a state of the art mortuary and theatre; garaging for their fleet of stunning Jaguar hearse and limousines; 2 family lounges; funeral director offices; workshop; disabled access and facilities; parking and home to the main admin and accounts team. In 2015 the company acquired the property which was the original coach house to the main building, and converted this into the new garaging, workshop and staff accomodation. In 2022 a full refurbsihment of the chapels and offices was undertaken. 

Verwood (5 The Old Pottery, Manor Way, BH31 6HF) As the business grew Nicholas saw the opportunity for the business to expand and in 1982 Nicholas and his family moved their home to to start a new funeral home in Vicarage Road. In 2009 the funeral home was relocated to its new location in the new development in the centre of the town.
