Murray's Funeral Directors, based at 23 York Street, Burton upon Trent, is a trusted and well-established funeral home serving the local community since 1999. Founded with their first funeral home in Burton upon Trent, Murray's has grown to serve the wider Staffordshire and Derbyshire areas, including branches in Findern, Barton under Needwood, and Swadlincote. In 2023, Murray's joined the Funeral Partners family, further strengthening their commitment to exceptional care.
The ethos at Murray's is built around three core values: Care, Compassion, and Community. Their dedicated team is devoted to supporting families from the very first call, through every step of the arranging process, and beyond the funeral day itself. Their empathetic and personable approach ensures families are treated with the utmost dignity and respect during the most sensitive of times.
Murray's Burton upon Trent branch offers a comprehensive range of funeral services, including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, and repatriation. They also provide prepaid funeral plans, memorial masonry, floral tributes, and online funeral notices. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Murray's is committed to being there for the local community whenever they are needed.
"A death in the family is always traumatic, and planning a funeral only adds to the stress. Joan has a lovely calming manner, explaining everything in meticulous detail. We were not rushed into making decisions and the day went like clockwork, timed to perfection."
— Patricia Bache (about Joan)
"Sam from the Barton office was helpful, kind, respectful and we can't thank her enough for the kindness she showed towards us losing our mum."
— Jill Kilkie (about Sam)
"Their non judgemental, kind but professional service will never be forgotten — the loveliest people, who are a credit to Murrays. Nothing was too much trouble for them."
— Keeley Brown (about Ami, Sue)
"Meg who looked after us from start to finish was amazing, she truly is an angel and I can't thank her enough. Every detail was met to the highest standard."
— Annie Greenough (about Meg)
"My dad would have been so proud to have been the first person to have his funeral service at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium. This wouldn't have happened without the support of Burton Albion Football Club and Murrays. Talk about your wishes. Explore what's possible."
— IJ L
"The Chapel of Rest was so soothing, seeing her in a comfortable bed made such a difference. She really did look peaceful. I can't thank you enough for all you did to make a difficult day manageable and for helping me to carry out her wishes so sensitively."

From the very beginning the whole team at Murray's ensured everything went perfectly regarding my dads funeral. Megan, Sam and the whole team were absolutely fantastic and I will never forget how smoothly they made everything go for me and my family. Thank you to you all.

Elaine Barker: The funeral for lovely auntie Tessa Sewell took place on 29th January 2026. Campbell was always available by phone or email throughout to help and guide. Nothing was too much trouble. And on the day Meg was a perfect ambassador for the company. She took care of us all and paid such attention to detail. Everything was beautifully prepared and nothing was rushed. The Order of Service booklets in particular were stunning. The Chapel of Rest was so soothing, seeing her in a comfortable bed made such a difference. She really did look peaceful. I can't thank you enough for all you did to make a difficult day manageable and for helping me to carry out her wishes so sensitively. Thank you all. Elaine x

I have nothing but praise for Murray’s. From the day of my mum’s death right up to her funeral they were supportive, understanding and so very helpful. They asked all the right questions, organised everything and helped us give our mum a funeral which she would have loved. Thank you so much, David and the team at Murray’s Funeral Services.
