Located at 470 Great Horton Road, Bradford, the funeral home is part of the Funeral Partners group while proudly maintaining its long-standing heritage and reputation within the local community.
The dedicated team at Joseph A. Hey & Son is committed to creating tailored funerals that reflect the unique life of each individual, offering a wide range of services including traditional funerals, cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, Hindu and Sikh faith funerals, horse-drawn funerals, and repatriation. They serve numerous communities across the Bradford area, including Allerton, Bank Top, Clayton, Great Horton, Heaton, Manningham, Thornton, and many more.
Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the team provides a caring and supportive service from the very first point of contact, whether by telephone or through a home visit. Their compassionate staff, including team members such as Robert, Paul, Helen, and Philip, are consistently praised by families for their empathy, professionalism, and attention to detail during what is often a very difficult time.
"From the first meeting I felt in good hands. So much care and sensitivity was taken when making the arrangements and the attention to detail made sure that you felt like the day of the service was going to go the way it should — and it did."
— Ben Kenehan
"We appreciated the calm, reassuring manner of Robert Morphet whose explanations — often repeated — made the whole process much less stressful than it would otherwise have been."
— Judith Dennis (about Robert Morphet)
"Philip Watters arrived early and talked with my mum extremely well. Even throughout the devastating times they still are there to sit through and talk you through everything properly, and even offered to help us even further after the funeral."
— Kyle Marples (about Philip Watters)
"Paul answered our questions honestly and with compassion, which really helped at such a difficult time. His calm and reassuring manner made a big difference for our family, and we felt genuinely supported throughout."
— Michelle Taylor (about Paul)
"They produced an absolutely beautiful service for my mother, a day which I can now think about and smile thanks to Joseph A. Hey & Son Ltd. True gentlemen and a credit to the community."
— Ben Kenehan
"Helen went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her kindness, patience, and calm approach made such a difference at a very emotional time. She's an exceptional person who clearly takes great pride in what she does, and it shows in the compassion and professionalism she brings to her work. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide us through it all, and we'll always be grateful for the care and comfort she gave to our family."
— Ayla Brazell (about Helen)
