Melville and Co Ltd, trading as Melville Morgan, is one of Ulster's longest-serving independent funeral directors, with a history stretching back to 1858 — helping bereaved families with their funeral arrangements for over three centuries. Based in Belfast, the company is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and abides by its strict Code of Practice, offering families the assurance of professional and ethical standards.
Still owned and run by the Morgan family, Melville Morgan remains a locally-owned independent family business. The business rebranded in 2017 as 'Melville Morgan,' with Raymond Morgan serving as Group Chairman, his son-in-law Nick Berryman as Director, and family members Rosemary-Anne Berryman and David Dunlop on the Board of Directors. As the largest independent funeral directors in the greater Belfast area, they are motivated to provide the best professional service possible, tailored to the needs of every individual family, at fair and competitive prices.
Melville Morgan offers a full range of funeral services including floral tributes, private limousine hire, coffin selection, obituary notices, funeral live streaming, and pre-arranged funeral plans. Their experienced and professional staff are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to guide families through every step of the funeral arrangement process.
