S Clarke and Son Funeral Directors in Bangor has been serving local families since 1918, when Samuel Clarke founded the company with a commitment to treating families with dignity and respect. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, the Bangor branch opened in 2004 to better serve families living in North Down, and has grown into a trusted and compassionate presence in the community.
The Bangor branch is located at the Bereavement Centre, 64 Newtownards Road, and features a bright, air-conditioned funeral church that can accommodate between 130 and 200 attendees thanks to a movable wall, making it one of the largest funeral venues in the area. The branch offers a comprehensive range of funeral services including traditional funerals, simple funerals, bespoke funerals, religious and non-religious ceremonies, cremations, and direct cremation options.
S Clarke and Son prides itself on innovation and transparency. The company was the first in the world to offer live-streaming of funeral services in 2004, and has since pioneered the use of solar energy to power its fleet and funeral operations. Pricing transparency is a core value, with detailed funeral cost information readily available to families. Whether arranging a burial or cremation, the team at the Bangor branch approaches every funeral with the same level of care, compassion, and commitment.
"We had specific wishes which they carried out for us. We appreciated all they did for us, making a difficult time more bearable."
— Sandra Mc Clune
"They enabled us to facilitate the funeral my dad wanted. Nothing was too much trouble, helping us through everything and making sure nothing was overlooked."
— Kelly Bellerby
"They guided us through an extremely difficult time and were readily available for any questions that we had before the funeral. On the day of the funeral, the attendants ensured everything went smoothly."
— Christina Yildirim
"At a really difficult time, S Clarke and son were excellent. Lots of good advice but never pushy. Nothing was too much trouble. We are very thankful for all they did for the funeral of my wife's dad."
— Geddes Family
"Clarke's exceeded all expectations at a time when as a family we didn't know where to turn next. Rachel who met with us on the first visit was patient, sensitive and efficient."
— NICOLA MCMASTER (about Rachel)
"From the first phone call made to them on my mother's passing we received a sensitive, informative and caring response. David who attended on that evening was exceptional. Even now 2 months on when my father has called into the office to order a headstone, he was immediately remembered by the staff which is a very nice, comforting personal touch. My father has appreciated this and feels he is not just a number."
— NICOLA MCMASTER (about David, Rachel, Ross)
