Tailored funerals built around your wishes
Respectful care at every stage
Support whenever you need it
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. Having previously been employees, in June 2022, Diane and James Drury took over ownership of the business, ensuring its legacy of care continues. Living only a few minutes away from the premises, they are always close by to offer care and support to families, when needed.
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 and guidance they need.
Our experienced and local team provide a personal and professional service, guiding and supporting you throughout this difficult time. Every goodbye is personal, so let us help you create a meaningful one. Our premises on London Road offer a peaceful environment, including a spacious Chapel of Rest, where families can spend time with their loved ones or can hold small private services. Convenient on-site parking ensures easy accessibility for visitors. We are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, offering personal guidance and assistance whenever needed. While based in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, we are close to county borders of Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Worcestershire, and often travel into these areas. We can also arrange funerals further afield, if wished, to meet families’ needs. As proud members of the National Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors, we comply with their code of conduct and uphold the highest standards of funeral care.
We offer complete support for burial and cremation arrangements, handling paperwork, bookings, and fees. We manage all the details, whether you opt for a church burial, family plot, or natural burial. We assist with paperwork, crematorium selection, and memorial services for cremations. We also give advice on registering a death, ensuring you have the necessary documents. We understand this can be overwhelming and are here to guide you through every step.

We cannot thank you enough, especially for looking after my children, enabling them to do something that was so tough for them. Your calm nature and reassuring manner was something I will always be grateful for.
We will always thank you for making one of the hardest times for us so much easier.
Take care of yourselves and thank you again

James and Diane have been amazing to our family. We sadly lost my in-laws within a few years of each other and James and Diane helped us and navigated us through such a hard time. They really go above and beyond to help if they can. We cannot thank you enough.
