A. Abbott & Sons is an independent, family-owned and run funeral director based at Bedford Road, Rushden, Northamptonshire. Established in 1885, the company has operated from the same premises for over a century, with the building having been carefully altered and refurbished over the years to meet modern needs, including full disabled access to all public areas — an achievement recognised with a Northamptonshire Business Environment Award.
The business is solely owned by Jonathan Hart-Abbott and Michael Hart, ensuring that families always know exactly who they are dealing with. The team includes qualified funeral directors Michael Hart-Abbott A.C.I.B. and Mr Jonathan L Hart-Abbott Dip.F.D., as well as funeral arrangers Beverley Sanders and Vicki Hart-Abbott. The Rushden branch features private chapels of rest and a service chapel that accommodates both religious and non-religious services.
A. Abbott & Sons offers a comprehensive range of funeral services, including traditional funerals, unattended direct cremations from £2,345, pre-paid funeral plans through Golden Charter, and a wide selection of coffins and urns. The fleet of funeral vehicles is composed of Mercedes E Class stretch limousines, reflecting the traditional values the company has upheld for over 130 years. The business is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
