Services
George Hudson & Sons Funeral Directors have been serving the community for over 130 years and are continuing to give their clients the highest level of commitment and professionalism. George Hudson started the company back in 1865 driving the locals to work from Longtown and the surrounding area, then handing over to his son George Jnr who bought Rolls Royce cars for weddings and funerals.
It was lovely to speak with you today. On behalf of my Mam and the rest of the family we would like to express our sincere gratitude to you and the rest of the team. It has to be said Adam that the service you provide goes beyond the norm and certainly exceeds expectations, It is very apparent that the respect and dignity in which you all present yourselves is a cut above all others.
As your Funeral Director, we are here to advise you in making all those arrangements which meet your personal needs and desires. Please remember that we are here to help you cope and adjust to your bereavement. If death occurs at home, a doctor should be contacted as soon as possible. Then, once the doctor has given authorisation, we will take the deceased person into our care.
The experience of our Funeral Director's sympathetic ear is all the more valuable because we are dealing with the practicalities of the funeral. He will list to you the bereaved, as you decide what sort of funeral you want. As a matter of course, we are kept up to date with any changes that may occur in Social Security regulations relating to funeral grants and payments.
That's a bit of traditional advice still taken seriously, particularly among elderly people. It is not just a matter of consideration, of not wanting the financial burden of your funeral to fall on relatives and friends left behind. It's a matter of pride, too. Traditionally, people bought inexpensive life insurance policies to meet the cost.

Extremely compassionate & supportive team at Hudson’s.. Their experience & professionalism, along with their friendly, approachable manner, was such a great help to our family when our Dad passed away.
Special thanks to George, who knew exactly when to stand back, when to step up & when to lift the mood.. Thank you!

Big thank you to Peter and everyone at George Hudsons for making a difficult time more bearable. My partner passed away on a Saturday evening and the guys came almost immediately to take him away to their chapel of rest. Nothing was too much trouble and I can safely say that my partner would have been very pleased with the send off he received. Thank you!
