Edd Frost & Daughters is Banbury and Brackley's only independent family funeral directors, founded by Edd Frost, who was born in Banbury and raised locally in Adderbury. Edd is a fully qualified Funeral Director (Dip F.D., M.B.I.F.D.) who entered the profession following the personal loss of both his parents, driven by a heartfelt desire to make the bereavement experience better for local families. The business is built on the values of respect, care, dignity, and trust, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The Banbury office is located at 14 Canada Close, Banbury, and is open Monday to Friday, 08:30am to 5:00pm. The team offers a highly personal, one-to-one service and is happy to visit families in their own homes at no extra charge if preferred. They provide comfortable, modern, and peaceful surroundings including Chapels of Rest, which can be visited by appointment.
Among their unique offerings is an in-house florist service, allowing families to choose floral tributes from within the comfort of the premises. The team also provides pre-arranged funeral planning, support with arrangements for both burials and cremations, and ongoing aftercare following the funeral service.
"All touch points with the team were exemplary — from the greeting at reception, the attentiveness of the Funeral Director, the care of the florist, the continual gentle communication, to the respectful team that carried Dad to his final resting place. These guys know what they are doing."
— David Wilson
"I'm struggling to put into words how wonderful this team are. The level of care for our family has been excellent. We are lucky to have them in our hometown."
— Lee Wilkinson
"A special thank you to Chris, our funeral director, who truly went above and beyond for our family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his kindness, support, and professionalism made such a difficult time so much easier to bear."
— Chan (about Chris)
"Tracey managed every minute detail during planning, then executed the funeral with precision, authority, compassion, humour and decisiveness - a highly demanding mixture of skills. The funeral swelled to circa 300 attendees for a church that seated 120, and every contingency was planned."
— Arron Broughton (about Tracey Brown)
"Having her by my side, including on the day of the funeral, was incredibly comforting—it felt like having a friend who truly understood what I was going through. Everyone needs a 'Tracey' in their lives during such a difficult time."
— Audrey Lavelle (about Tracey Brown)
"From that initial conversation through to the day of the funeral itself, she was there for me every step of the way. She was incredibly professional, supportive, and genuinely caring, especially at a time when I felt at my most upset and vulnerable. Her kindness and reassurance meant more to me than I can put into words."
— Michelle Macartney (about Tracey)

We Used Edd Frost And Daughters, from Banbury The company was extremely professional and helpful giving us lots of choice , explaining each different stage of this process and answering each query as they popped up. They were Extremely professional from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. They Organised and helped us choose everything from the type of coffin, Flowers, Church, Music, Transport, Grave, Bellringers, Organist, Even sharing popular songs and poems for the order of Service. There is so much to do when Organising a funeral , But they Guided us through at every stage Making the whole Process so much easier. Even on the day they helped the family logistics run very smoothly advising everybody of the next steps. I thoroughly recommend this family owned company They were outstanding in the quality of their vehicles their appearance their advice their presence. I couldn’t fault them in anyway, .. Thank you once again. 💕 from all of our family.

I couldn’t be happier with the care and understanding my family received while having my Mum’s funeral service organized and run by Edd Frost and daughters! Everything I asked for happened with no difficulties! Being a performer myself I wanted it all to run like a well rehearsed performance..and it did!.. and even when things slightly changed just before the service … Edd and his team re-adjusted things with no stress or annoyance! I couldn’t have been happier with the beautiful service! I know my Mum would have loved it… and it was so well attended with people sitting along the sides of the room and outside in the foyer and courtyard.. everyone could hear and see what they needed to! Thank you so much Edd… we all gave Mum a fabulous send off! I’m so very grateful!

I'm struggling to put into words how wonderful this team are. The level of care for our family has been excellent. So too have the attention to detail and the level of service we received. This team are accommodating, informative and considerate. I cannot recommend Edd Frost & Daughters enough. They are amazing and we are lucky to have them in our hometown.

My family were privileged with exceptional support and service by Edd Frost and Daughters, particularly our dedicated funeral director: Tracey Brown. Every detail of the funeral was anticipated and checked; every contingency planned; dynamic adaptations demonstrated initiative and attentiveness, especially because the funeral swelled to circa 300 attendees for a church that seated 120. Tracey managed every minute detail during planning, then executed the funeral with precision, authority, compassion, humour and decisiveness - a highly demanding mixture of skills. Edd Frost’s team and services were outstanding from initial transition at the hospice (within hours), through consultation, taxonomy, chapel of rest, management and services. A company that represents outstanding value for money, I would consider no other funeral directors.

Edd frost and daughters were recommended to our family for my fathers funeral as being the best The care, attention to detail and support of my mother, my sister and myself as well as our other halves and children has been wonderful. The 1st May was a very special day and was made more special by your team’s involvement. The little touches made the service very special for us. Thank you again
