Jerry March Funeral Services is one of Norwich's longest established, independent, family-run funeral directors, based at 28 Holt Road, Horsford, Norwich. With roots dating back to at least 1840 — and believed to extend even further — the March family has been serving the local community for over 185 years, making them one of the most enduring funeral businesses in the area.
The business is currently run by Adam March, Funeral Director with over 30 years of experience, alongside his sister Lisa Hislop, who handles accounts and service sheets, and his wife Rachel March, who brings over a decade of funeral industry experience. When families call, they speak directly to a member of the family — day or night — ensuring a truly personal and compassionate service.
Jerry March Funeral Services offers a fully bespoke approach, tailoring every funeral to the individual. Their services include a private woodland Chapel of Rest, a variety of coffin and hearse options (including horse-drawn and motorcycle), floral tributes, pre-paid funeral plans, donation collection, service sheet printing, and a Direct Unattended Cremation priced at £1,350 including third-party fees. As a small, independent business, they are able to keep costs lower than larger companies while maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism.
"Had a cremation for mum last year and dad this year. Everything was sorted brilliantly. Lovely company and lovely people. Highly recommended."
— Tracey Woods
"Having had to go through the heartbreaking journey of another funeral so close to the last, they have been fantastic. The service they provided was exceptional but also very personal and very reasonably priced."
— Sue Barry (about Adam)
"An old fashioned family business with the caring service and respect missing from the big companies. Throughout, my late wife was treated with care and respect. I have left instructions to use them when I go as I know I will be well looked after."
— Michael Jessett
"Adam has been caring and considerate in organising everything to my dad's wishes, with patience and the utmost respect. I know my dad would have been very proud with their professionalism, dignity and grace."
— Corinne Tuddenham-Finn (about Adam)
"Just guides you gently along the path no one wants to walk. Fully supportive at the same level prior to the service, during and especially after."
— A Reeves
