ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Allen & Son has been part of Moreton-in-Marsh for nearly a century, with three generations of the Allen family serving the community and providing funeral services with dignity and respect. Founded by the Allen family in 1928, the business is built on trust and commitment to the community. In June 2022, Diane and James Drury, who were employees of Allen & Son, were offered the opportunity to take over the business, ensuring its legacy of care continues. Having developed a deep affection for the area, they didn't hesitate to relocate their home to Moreton-in-Marsh, where they now jointly own and manage every aspect of the business.
Though Peter and Veronica Allen have retired, they remain closely connected to the business. Peter is pleased to see Allen & Son run by a husband-and-wife team once again and continues to offer his help when requested. Diane and James bring years of experience in the funeral industry and a personal understanding of grief, ensuring every family receives the support they need.

SUPPORT SERVICES WE RECOMMEND
These are some helpful support services we recommend which provide expert advice and emotional support during this challenging time.
-
Q. WHAT TYPE OF FUNERAL FITS YOUR FAMILY?A. Every funeral is different. Every family is different. A family should make a funeral choice that fits their needs at the time of loss. Among the options to consider are traditional service with viewing and burial, traditional service with cremation to follow, cremation with a memorial service, or any type of arrangement that is right for your family. Many people are now using our pre-planning and pre-paying services to ensure their wishes are carried out upon their death and to relieve family and friends from additional stress.
-
Q. HOW CAN WE MAKE THE FUNERAL SERVICE PERSONAL?A. A funeral can be as unique as the person who has died. Picture displays and video tributes are examples of the several ways to portray and celebrate the life of a loved one. Assembly picture boards are also an opportunity to reminisce while designing the display.
-
Q. WHAT DETERMINES THE COST OF A FUNERAL?A. You and your family do. A funeral can be as extravagant or as simple as you desire. The type of service and other items selected determines the cost of a funeral. An estimate of costs based on items and services selected is provided to the family, and our general price list is provided for easy reference. A funeral does not have to be an extravagant display, as there are coffins and caskets available at all cost levels to fit the needs of every family. Pre-planning and pre-paying for your funeral can help control costs. By making decisions ahead of time, you avoid having to make choices at a time when your emotions are heightened. Pre-planning and pre-paying also provide an opportunity for you to set aside funds that can be used to pay for part or all of the service.
-
Q. WHAT ABOUT PRE-PLANNING AND PRE-PAYING FOR A FUNERAL?A. By planning and arranging a funeral in advance, you have the opportunity to discuss your wishes with your family. Having the details of a loved one’s funeral or memorial service settled before death allows families to make informed decisions. Pre-paying for a funeral enables you to set funds aside to cover the costs of the funeral arrangements. These expenses can be partially or fully funded through the legal establishment of funeral trusts or life insurance. These funds earn interest and are fully transferable.
-
Q. WHERE ARE THE NEAREST CREMATORIUMS?A. Please see our "Crematoriums" page.
