About us

We are a family funeral director business within Wisbech and its surrounding rural communities.

75 years of service

Situated in the village of Murrow just outside of Wisbech, the business was founded in 1951 by the late Alfred Sidney Barnes. Peter took over the business when his dad passed away in 1962 and has owned and managed the business ever since, assisted by his wife Sheila and more recently by his daughter Diane.

We are proud, as a family managed business, to offer you our personal, respectful and compassionate attention.

Not being answerable to shareholders and confined to a range of products, we are able to assist you to create a meaningful service that honours the life and memories of your loved one, whether that be a traditional, simple or elaborate arrangement.

Peter Barnes
