D J M Robinson and Son, trading as Robinsons of Culcrum Funeral Directors, is a family-run independent funeral business with a proud heritage spanning more than 170 years. Six generations of the Robinson family have lived and worked on the farm at Culcrum, two miles from the village of Cloughmills, serving the communities of Ballymoney, Ballymena, and Ballycastle throughout that time.
The business is currently led by David J.M. Robinson, who has been involved in the funeral profession for over 50 years. Both David and senior associate Alistair McMullan hold professional qualifications through the National Association of Funeral Directors, with Alistair having achieved the highest marks in the UK in his year of qualification. David's daughter Emma and son David have also joined the business, ensuring its family tradition continues into the next generation.
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the team provides compassionate and professional funeral directing services, attending to all necessary arrangements with care and discretion. Their modern fleet of vehicles, renovated Funeral Home, and related facilities reflect their ongoing commitment to a high-quality, distinctive service. Regulated pre-paid funeral plans are also available for those wishing to plan ahead.
