Our County Funerals team is always available to provide fast and compassionate help and make arrangements when you need it. We are conscious that life rarely works on a 9-5 schedule, so we have someone to answer our phone to take your call 24/7.
We assist in organising funerals no matter the type of funeral or the size or scale of proceedings. Perhaps you need to organise your relative or close friend’s funeral, or maybe you want to arrange your own in advance and personally, to relieve that burden from your family. We can help there too.
We can offer preplanning and prepayment options to help you organise your send-off your way. We will help create a special funeral for every person and their family every time. Our approach is to match the arrangements made to the departed person’s character, beliefs, and life to deliver a personalised send-off for them. As your Funeral Director, we will ensure planning runs smoothly on such a difficult day, fulfilling what we pledge to provide.
So whether you want a traditional or simple funeral, we can help guide the process. For instance, a traditional funeral may occur in a church or public venue with impressive service and all the possible additions. Or, we can create a no-frills, no mourners and a no-fuss affair. With either option – be they no cost spared or instead keeping costs minimal – we can help. Let us know your choice and desires, and we will aim to create just that.

Since graduating university in 2008, with a BSc (Hons) in environmental hazards and disaster management Amelia has worked as a funeral arranger, gaining a BTEC qualification in 2012 and has worked all over Hertfordshire throughout her career.
She has a son and daughter, plus a stepdaughter and believes family plays a very important part in anyone’s life. She believes that arranging a funeral isn’t just a way to say goodbye; it is also an opportunity to celebrate their life with the family, and love they all share. Funerals are a deeply personal moment and capturing all a family would want is a special privilege to be part of.

After finishing school, Lee was an engine and gearbox mechanic. He has been a family friend for over 10 years and he has worked with us for a year and loves wearing a suit to work. Lee is a father of two and Grant is the Godfather to Lee’s youngest son.
As the great-grandson of a funeral director and embalmer Grant has always had an awareness of the industry and the services it delivers and as soon as he had a full driving licence he made his goal to secure employment and training in the trade. He has benefited from training with two industry corporates, but also has experience with smaller independent funeral services. Seeing a need for more individual funeral options Grant set about finding suitable vehicles to use as alternative hearses and in 2011 the Final Cruise Company was formed offering unusual funeral cars for car enthusiasts.
Fast forward to 2017 Grant decided it was time to start his own funeral service known as County Funerals; offering personalised and affordable funerals to families who needed the experience and support he could offer. Now in 2019 his hard work and dedication has come to fruition with the opening of County Funerals first branch in Little Wymondley.
Family is of huge importance to Grant, as a father to 3 children and one of 6 siblings with a vast extended family. He truly understands that family and friends always know their loved ones the best and as such funerals are best planned and organised with extensive input from those closest to the individual.
A very well known and social person, when he is not working Grant loves nothing more than driving his hotrods which include a 1949 Chevy and a 1927 T-bucket. He is an active member of the A602 Street and Strip Rod Club based in Stevenage and can regularly be seen fronting their events with a microphone in hand.
