Rolfe's Family Funeral Service is a long-established, family-run funeral director based at 14 Station Road, Whitchurch, Shropshire, proudly serving the local community for over 75 years. The business was founded in 1951 when Hugh Rolfe, who had originally started a car hire and taxi firm in 1920, purchased a hearse and began offering funeral services to the area. Since then, the firm has remained firmly in family hands, passing through generations with dedication and compassion, and is now led by Simon Williams, son-in-law of June and John Jones, who joined the firm in 2002 and holds a Diploma in Funeral Directing.
Rolfe's is proud of its deep roots in Whitchurch and the surrounding communities, including Prees, Tilstock, Malpas, Wem, and the wider Shropshire villages. The team's extensive local knowledge and longstanding relationships within the area ensure that every family receives a truly personal and attentive service. Their 24-hour availability means that support is always on hand, day or night, every day of the year.
In addition to funeral arrangements, Rolfe's offers memorial consultancy, helping families choose headstones, memorials, and inscriptions in line with local regulations. The firm also provides a tributes and donations platform, allowing friends and family to leave messages, light candles, and contribute to chosen charities in memory of loved ones.
"First class service giving us time when you need it most. Can't recommend enough."
— James Blantern
