Stannington Funeral Services is a branch of John Heath & Sons, one of Sheffield's most established and respected independent family funeral directors. With over 140 years of history serving the Sheffield community, John Heath & Sons is considered possibly the oldest and largest family-owned funeral director firm in the North of England, now in its sixth generation of family ownership under Adam and Jason Heath.
The Stannington branch forms part of a network of eight beautiful locations across Sheffield and the surrounding area, each featuring modern chapels of rest to provide families with a peaceful and dignified setting during their time of need. The branch at 98 Oldfield Road offers the same high standard of personal, compassionate care that the John Heath & Sons name has been built upon across generations.
As founder members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and members of the British Institute of Embalmers and the British Institute of Funeral Directors, the firm upholds the highest professional standards. Services available include traditional cremation and burial, non-religious and humanist funerals, green and woodland funerals, direct cremations, and pre-planned funeral arrangements. Families are supported at every stage, from the first call through to the day itself.
"My family have been using John Heath and Sons since 1957 and have always received an excellent service. Communication was excellent throughout and we felt safe and secure in Adam's hands."
— Margaret Pepall (about Adam Heath)
"Carole was amazing and a pleasure to meet. Each time has been so friendly and welcoming. Top stars for Carole and team. Huge gratitude."
— Darren Hunter (about Carole)
"Nothing was too much trouble and everything went smoothly, which enabled the family to attend the funeral and wake with the minimum of planning on our part, and for us to concentrate our thoughts on our dear, late dad."
— Von C
"We felt we were in safe hands from the moment we met Carol and Tricia; but Roger and his team guided us through the day with total professionalism, compassion and care. I can't recommend this company highly enough."
— Mike Metcalfe (about Roger)
"They laid him out with great dignity and respect so it wasn't too much of an ordeal to visit him in the funeral home. Thanks to them all for making my dad's last journey a special occasion."
— Von C
"Adam Heath listened attentively to every detail to ensure the wishes and expectations of the family were met. He guided us gently through the process from the death of our loved one until after the funeral with the correct balance between empathy and expertise. We felt safe and secure in Adam's hands and that of his highly professional team."
— Margaret Pepall (about Adam Heath)
