Thorne-Leggett Funeral Directors has been serving the local communities of Surrey and Hampshire for over 30 years, with their Farnham branch opening in 2012. The business was founded in 1991 by two experienced funeral directors, Geoffrey Thorne and David Leggett, who shared a commitment to total professionalism and placing clients as their absolute priority. David Leggett had been a funeral director in Farnham for many years before the partnership was formed, bringing deep local knowledge and expertise to the area.
The Farnham branch, located at 8-10 The Street, Wrecclesham, offers a full range of funeral services including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, and repatriation. The dedicated team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can meet families at the funeral home or arrange a home visit for those who prefer it.
As part of the Funeral Partners network, Thorne-Leggett combines local heritage with professional support, ensuring every funeral is tailored to reflect the unique life of each loved one. They also offer prepaid funeral plans through Choice, helping families plan ahead with confidence. The branch is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD).
"The services for my father and mother were each unique and we felt they expressed their desires in a way that honoured them and helped us to say goodbye and celebrate them both."
— Niki Pattison
"I was on holiday during the period and Thorne-Leggett made everything move along smoothly and stress free. They were absolutely wonderful on the day and everyone said how well the day had gone."
— Carolyn Bennett (about Samantha)
"They made a difficult and sad time into a wonderful celebration of life for my Father — we can't thank them enough for the attention to detail, and the seamless way the funeral happened."
— Sharron Probert (about Emilie)
"She made a sad solemn occasion positive and bearable. All questions were answered, all requests adhered to and always with empathy and understanding."
— BajanPearl (about Laura)
"Five stars are not nearly enough! There was sadness, there was laughter and boy - did he have a good send off. Thank you for making what could have been a very difficult day - brilliant."
— Sue Mantle (about Sam)
"Her kindness, gentle guidance, and sense of humour brought us real comfort during one of the hardest times of our lives — and we even managed a few giggles along the way, which Dad would have loved."
— Amy Girdler (about Sam)

My whole family is incredibly grateful to Rebecca, Sam and team for providing such an exceptional service. The team were all hugely kind, compassionate and professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending them unreservedly.

We are in a funeral season and have been guided through a previously unknown process of arranging a funeral service very well. At all times we were cared for, informed, and helped to make the process less intimidating and very personal. The services for my father and mother were each unique and we felt they expressed their desires in a way that honoured them and helped us to say good bye and celebrate them both. Thank you Thorne-Leggett very much. David Leggett was a friend of my father and this is how we knew of the firm. Very happy to recommend them to others.

We can’t thank Thorne Leggett Funeral Directors enough for their compassion and professionalism. In particular, we’d like to thank Sam, who treated our beloved dad with the utmost care, dignity, and respect. Her kindness, gentle guidance, and sense of humour brought us real comfort during one of the hardest times of our lives — and we even managed a few giggles along the way, which Dad would have loved. We’ll always be grateful for the warmth and support we received from her 🩷

I was very lucky to have been recommended to use Thorne-Leggett in Farnham for my Godmother's funeral. they were exceptionally helpful and very compassionate too. I was on holiday during the period and Thorne-Leggett, Samantha and her team made everything move along smoothly and stress free. They were absolutely wonderful on the day and everyone said how well the day had gone. thank you to all your team for helping us all through such a sad time.

We are so grateful for the outstanding care Sam and team provided while arranging our elderly relative's funeral. From the outset - given that circumstances meant we had to communicate by phone - to the ceremony itself, we were reassured that everyone at Thorne-Leggett had given their best attention to every detail. It must be hard to get the aspects right for everyone, with their varying needs and at a difficult time, but our experience was just as we would have wished.
