About us

Halyard was set up in 2016 by Sam Ellery and Priya Nandra, two funeral directors who wanted to make arranging a funeral feel less formal and more open.

A different kind of funeral director

We meet you at home, at our studio on Wharf Road, or by video call. You can see every price before you decide, and you can change your mind at any point before the day.

We are members of the community we serve. We will always tell you what things cost, and we will never rush you.
