A Slater & Sons Funeral Directors

A. Slater & Sons Funeral Directors has been serving families in the Ashbourne area for over 110 years, with their branch located at 37-39 Compton, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Founded by Abner Slater, the great-grandfather of the current owner John, the business has a rich heritage and was among the first funeral directors to use a motorised hearse. Today, it continues to provide both traditional and bespoke funeral services to multiple generations of local families.

The Ashbourne branch shares the company's core values of compassion, care, and transparency. A. Slater & Sons takes a holistic approach to funeral arrangements, assisting families with as much or as little as they need, while ensuring the service is as fitting and affordable as possible. Notably, they do not add profit on top of third-party supplier costs, passing those services on at cost price to reduce the financial burden on grieving families.

Services available include funeral planning, bespoke floral tributes, a choice of coffins and hearses, catering arrangements for wakes, memorials, and pre-paid funeral plans through Golden Charter. The team prides itself on a personal touch that sets it apart from larger chain funeral directors, offering comfort and support throughout what can be an extremely difficult time.
