Blyth and Sons Ltd, located at 4 Cremer Street in Sheringham, Norfolk, is an independent family-run funeral home with roots stretching back to 1895. Originally founded as a building firm by the Blyth family, the funeral division was established in the 1940s, and the business has been passed down through four generations of the Blyth family. Today it is run by Mark Blyth and Nichola Rosser, continuing a proud family tradition of serving the local North Norfolk community.
The Sheringham branch is overseen by Funeral Director Hayley Pegg, who was born in West Runton and has been part of the local community all her life. Hayley holds the NAFD Diploma in Funeral Directing and has been with the company for over a decade, ensuring families receive compassionate, expert guidance through every step of the funeral arranging process.
As a full member of the National Association of Funeral Directors, Blyth and Sons Ltd adheres to the highest professional standards and code of conduct. The team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and every funeral is personally tailored to meet the wishes of the family and their loved one, with the greatest care and respect.
"The lady Helen came to see my family to help and she was amazing. I have been to see my grandad and he just looks amazing as he ever did."
— Abi Middleton (about Helen)
"Losing a loved one is the toughest time of your life and they have been there helping us with everything. They are both professional and personal at the same time, which is something we will never be able to thank them for."
— Stefan Battrick-Newall
"Helen put us in touch with a lovely lady who makes wool felt burial shrouds. As a family we decided we didn't want a hearse or a traditional ceremony, just our mother's favourite piece of music playing as we carried her to the grave. They couldn't have been more helpful. They deserve a 5 star Plus rating!"
— Donna Billing (about Helen)
"After chatting with Hayley, I just knew Dad would be in good hands with them. She liaised with the hospital and coroner and always kept us up to date. Everyone was so professional on the day and so so supportive and caring."
— Jane Hexum (about Hayley)
"Guiding our family through the process at a time when it is hard to turn your mind away from grief... thank you for holding our hands so to speak at both funeral services, we couldn't have asked for more."
— Andy Rickard

Blyth & Sons of Sheringham were truly exceptional at a traumatic time last August when we lost mum. Again we relied on the experience and gentle professionalism of Blyth & Sons when we then lost dad in January of this year. Guiding our family through the process at a time when it is hard to turn your mind away from grief. Thank you so much for the care you gave when mum and dad were trusted to you, and then for holding our hands so to speak at both funeral services, we couldn’t have asked for more. Andrew

I spoke to two other companies before deciding to use Blyth & Sons and after chatting with Hayley, I just knew Dad would be in good hands with them. Hayley met with my brother and I and gently guided us through what turned out to be quite a difficult process. She liaised with the hospital and coroner and always kept us up to date. Everyone was so professional on the day and so so supportive and caring. We cannot thank you enough. Jane and Gregory.

I cannot recommend Blyth and Son highly enough. The staff were amazing when we said we wanted a green burial for our mother. Helen put us in touch with a lovely lady Yuli Somme from Bellacouche who make wool felt burial shrouds. As a family we decided we didn't want a hearse or a tradition ceremony, just our mother's favourite piece of music playing as we carried her to the grave. Blyth and son and especially Helen couldn't have been more helpful, guiding us through this very emotionally charged process. They deserve a 5 star Plus rating!

As a family we cannot thank Blyths enough. They have been understanding, considerate and sensitive throughout our whole ordeal. Losing a loved one is the toughest time of your life and they have been there helping us with everything. They are both professional and personal at the same time, which was we will never be able to thank then for.
