Peace Funerals is an award-winning, family-run and independent funeral directors based in Sheffield, established in 1996 by John and Mary Mallatratt. Founded after their personal frustration with the limited options and care provided by other funeral companies, Peace Funerals has grown into a team of a dozen permanent staff dedicated to meeting the needs of bereaved families. The Sheffield branch, located on Halifax Road, has earned a strong reputation for its compassionate, professional, and personalised approach to funeral arrangements.
Peace Funerals operates on three core principles: transparency, choice, and affordability. They are recommended by both the Natural Death Centre charity and the independent Good Funeral Guide, and have won a national award for best funeral directors in the UK. Families are guided by a dedicated single point of contact throughout the process, ensuring a calm and attentive experience.
The branch offers a comprehensive range of funeral services including direct cremation, simple cremation, standard cremation, natural burial, traditional burial, and bespoke funerals. Additional products such as coffins, transport, flowers, ashes urns, and keepsakes are also available. Pre-paid funeral plans are offered to help families plan ahead and lock in today's prices.
"The gentlemen who came to take my elderly were gentle, sensitive and discreet in their approach, giving us the emotional space to bid my elderly goodbye."
— Tze
"You really did go above and beyond helping us to make sure my mum had the perfect send off and helping us through everything in the build up to it and on the day of the funeral too... my mum would have been so proud."
— Laura Hoyland (about Kelly)
"I explained my budget and Charlie stuck to it while still giving my nan a good send off. Very professional and caring. I'd give Peace Funerals 10 stars if I could."
— Natalie Clarke (about Charlie)
"Their kindness, patience and compassion meant more to us than they will ever know. They helped us give Mum the beautiful and dignified farewell she deserved, and we will always be incredibly grateful for that."
— Charlotte Hepworth (about Claire and Martyn)
"We even lost money on a funeral plan we had in place because we wanted to use them again (and the plan wouldn't let us). They go above and beyond with their genuine care and professionalism."
— suenicol100 (about Gavin)
"He went to the point of making his work cumbersome just to make sure I thought through everything - he knew that if I made a mistake and regretted, there would be no turning back. So Gavin inconvenienced himself and made sure to help me make the right choice for my family."
— Tze (about Gavin)

We honestly cannot thank the funeral home enough for the care, kindness and compassion they showed us during such an incredibly difficult time following the loss of our beautiful mum. From the very first moment, we were treated with nothing but warmth, understanding and genuine care. Every detail was handled with such professionalism and dignity, which gave us one less thing to worry about while we were trying to come to terms with losing Mum. A very special thank you to Claire and Martyn, who truly could not have done enough for us. Carl the celebrant was amazing during the service. They went above and beyond in every way and made us feel supported throughout the whole process. Their kindness, patience and compassion meant more to us than they will ever know. They helped us give Mum the beautiful and dignified farewell she deserved, and we will always be incredibly grateful for that. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for looking after Mum and for looking after all of us. ❤️

As someone who wanted to prepare ahead of time for my elderly parent, I contacted Peace Funerals and several others to get information a few months before the actual 'departure'. Unlike some, Gavin responded promptly to each of my questions clearly, and never chased me for my 'business'. Their pricing was easy to understand, and I felt a sense of genuine empathy in their response. So eventually when my elderly passed, I immediately called Peace Funerals while waiting for the paramedics to come and ascertain the situation. After the paramedics left, I called Peace Funerals again and they already had their team on standby, reaching my premises in less than an hour. The gentlemen who came to take my elderly were gentle, sensitive and discreet in their approach, giving us the emotional space to bid my elderly goodbye. The days after, Gavin helped to direct me with all the paper work, giving me suggestions, and detailing every aspect which I had never thought of before. I must say that he went to the point of making his work cumbersome just to make sure I thought through everything - he knew that if I made a mistake and regretted, there would be no turning back. So Gavin inconvenienced himself and made sure to help me make the right choice for my family. As we were able to choose a cremation date early on and acquired all the papers in good timing, the actual cremation and then the return of the ashes went very smoothly. Today I have 'welcomed' my elderly back home thanks to the tireless work of Gavin and his team from first to last. Yes, I recommend Peace Funerals as trustworthy people, especially when there can only be 'one take' and no one wants anything to go wrong. Thank you again, Gavin and Team Peace Funerals.
