M.D. Lowe & Sons is a privately owned, family run funeral directors serving Leicestershire, based at 857 Melton Road, Thurmaston, Leicester. The company is operated by Mark, Hayley, and Max Lowe, who are committed to providing the highest standard of care and personal service to every family they serve. They take care of every detail and guide families every step of the way, believing that a funeral should be as personal and individual as the person who has passed away.
What sets M.D. Lowe & Sons apart from other local funeral directors is their unique approach of welcoming families into their family home. At the heart of their home is the Plumb Suite, a beautiful rest room where families may spend time saying their goodbyes. There are no large impersonal offices or cold clinical rest rooms — instead, families are cared for in a warm, homely environment by Mark, Hayley, or Max personally.
The company works alongside industry professionals to provide beautiful floral tributes and a range of stunning modes of transport for the final journey. Funeral arrangements can be discussed at their office or in the privacy of a family's own home. M.D. Lowe & Sons also offers pre-paid funeral plans and is available 24 hours a day. They are members of the NAFD (National Association of Funeral Directors).
