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.
"Tracey especially has been exceptionally helpful. Sadly we lost our mum and dad just 9 months apart, and used Edd Frost & Daughters both times. They were very supportive at what has been a very difficult time and ensured both funerals were organised with dignity and professionalism."
— Ian (about Tracey)
"I had never had to organise a funeral before, and was very nervous about not doing mum justice, but I need not have worried! They were across all the details and made everything work just right — and the day itself went as well as we could have hoped for."
— Tim Brooks
"Experience, professionalism and empathy in abundance. All touch points with the team were exemplary, from the greeting at reception, the amazing attentiveness of the Funeral Director, the care and attention of the florist, the continual guidance and gentle communication, the engaging, friendly and sympathetic drivers, the respectful crematorium team — all just phenomenal."
— David Wilson
"From start to finish Edd was so lovely, helpful, calm and respectful, he made a highly emotional time in our lives manageable and together we were able to give Dad the send-off he truly deserved. We'll never be able to thank you enough."
— Victoria Avery (about Edd)
"I cannot thank Edd Frost and Daughters enough for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed following the passing of my beautiful husband, Nicholas Macartney, at just 52 years old. They handled everything with such care and dignity, making an overwhelming process feel manageable and ensuring my husband was looked after with the respect he deserved."
— Michelle Macartney
"A special mention must go to Tracey, who was the first person I spoke to about the arrangements. 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)

Sadly we lost our mum & dad just 9 months apart, and used Edd Frost & Daughters services both times. They were very supportive at what has been a very difficult time for the family and ensured both mum and dad’s funerals were organised with dignity and professionalism. The start to finish support has been very much appreciated, Tracey especially has been exceptionally helpful and we have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Thank you very much to Karen and the wonderful kind and compassionate team at Edd Frost. Thanks to them they made the whole process of arranging my mum's funeral stress and pain free. It was a beautiful service and mum would have been very proud. The flower arrangement I had order was from Marcelli was beautiful and a very touching tribute to mum's favourite colours.

I would warmly recommend Edd Frost & Daughters to anyone faced with the challenge and heartache of organising a loved one's funeral. They really made sure my mum had a proper, respectful send-off. I had never had to organise a funeral before, and was very nervous about not doing mum justice, but I need not have worried! They were across all the details and made everything work just right - and the day itself went as well as we could have hoped for.
