64 | Q4 2021 Jun21202 Most Compassionate Funeral Directors - Tyne & Wear Manor House Funerals, a funeral home that has grown massively since the turn of the century, has been working harder than ever to operate with compassion and sincerity during a time of increasing challenges. With 5 funeral homes in the Tyneside and Sunderland region, and more facilities opening on a consistent basis, it has gained a reputation for the familial, tight-knit, caring nature of its work, something that has remained since its founding despite the fast nature of its expansion. Naturally, this has made it more dedicated than ever to providing sensitive and holistic mortuary care to its families and the deceased loved one, being the guiding hand that makes the process as stress-free as possible so that the families can celebrate that person’s life, and gain the closure they need to begin to heal. In 1998, Manor House Funerals was established as a bespoke funeral home with 5 beautiful, rapidly established homes across the City of Sunderland and South Tyneside. Fundamentally, it has grown in notoriety because of the efficacy and diligence with which it looks after its families, treating each family member with care, dignity, respect, and empathy, understanding the difficult time they are facing and acting accordingly. Thus, its ethos is one of taking the stress and logistical nightmare out of organising the post-mortem care of a loved one, with a dedicated team of staff on hand at every turn to provide the help that they might need. At its core, Manor House Funerals has built a beating heart of support and friendliness, with a family run business that prizes its ethics, quality, and people skills. Wishing to buck the myth that funeral care is a ghoulish business, it instead shows families the beauty of celebrating a person’s life, and celebrating the love that the family has for the person by honouring their memory. Even with its successes meaning that it as a company has grown exponentially, it is consistently still dedicated to providing its signature, one-on-one, highly personalised, sensitive services, treating each and every client with the comprehensive care that it has been offering since the very beginning in order to allow them to feel totally supported throughout the process. Recently, in order to aid this, it has opened a new bereavement centre in the South Shields town centre, with a new state of the art branch in Fulwell that offers air-conditioned offices, a well-designed reception and waiting areas that have been created for comfort and reassurance, bespoke chapels of rest, and luxurious function suites for families to hold private receptions. In essence, Manor House Funerals can handle all manner of different requests and requirements. It will always go above and beyond to rise to the challenge of even the most specific specifications, well versed in everything from high profile to military funerals; additionally, it will never upsell a family or offer them things that they can’t afford, forever striving to keep everything in budget. Therefore, it makes itself an integral part of the community and an ethical, professional service made possible by the accredited members of the Society of Bereavement Practitioners within its ranks who each operate with high levels of oversight and care. Although each staff member comes from a variety of diverse backgrounds, and each carries a unique perspective, the dedication to quality they carry is a constant element, and each of them have used this to ensure Manor House Funerals could pull through the challenges of the past 18 months. The staff of Manor House Funerals and the funeral industry in the macro scale have, after all, been very much a part of the front line against the pandemic, working hard to make bereavement services as safe and fair as possible throughout. Thusly, as it moves forward towards the new year, it looks forward to continually building up the already incredible services it offers, helping its families through these difficult times and taking care of the loved ones whose funerary arrangements are entrusted to it.
