An independent family funeral director in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk, we have learned that taking the time to listen is important. We offer an extremely personal service with care, compassion, choice and attention to detail at every step. Because we are an independent company, we don't have quotas to fill or targets to meet.
Nothing is more important than giving you good, honest advice and all the time you need to make decisions about the funeral service you would like. We dont have branches all over suffolk, we have one branch that receives all of our attention. We are proud to be a local family company. We live local, work local, shop and spend local, putting money into the local economy not other branches or shareholders pockets.

Services
Unfortunately, most of us will be confronted with the task of arranging the funeral of a loved one, which, in the midst of grief, can be a daunting ordeal. Our fully trained staff are available to give personal and discrete service at any time of the day or night, at weekends and on public holidays.
Nick started Armstrongs in 1997 after working for some of the bigger companies and becoming disillusioned with some of the practices and procedures. Nick is the main funeral director and main out of hours contact for families. He lives in Banham with wife Davina, daughter Florence and Bob Dog! A keen traveller he is also into Diving, Kitesurfing and is also a qualified Paraglider and paramotor pilot.
At Armstrongs we are available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year adopting the highest standards at all times - whether helping you to decide the type of funeral service which is fitting for your relative or friend, liaising with third parties on your behalf to make the necessary arrangements or overseeing a meaningful and truly caring funeral service in accordance with your wishes.
Losing someone you care about can be one of life's most difficult experiences. There are no easy answers when trying to help a bereaved family come to terms with their loss, every situation is unique and people react in very different ways. Having lost both my parents at an early age I understand how difficult this time is for families and how we can help make things just a tiny bit easier.
At Armstrongs we try our very best to make one of the most difficult times in your life just a tiny bit easier. When I started Armstrongs I had been working for the larger chains of Funeral Directors and there was a massive shift towards large companies offering little choice and a lack of consideration for the individual requirements of bereaved relatives.

We cannot thank Nick, and his team at Armstrongs, enough for the incredibly high level of care and attention that we received. At an unimaginably awful time for our family, they not only met all our requests, but were polite, kind and incredibly supportive throughout which undoubtedly helped us through this difficult time. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I would like to thank Armstrongs team for their help, kindness and compassion shown arranging the funeral of my beloved cousin in law.
The whole process from the beginning to the day of the funeral was so well conducted and they took a lot of stress and worries off me.
Armstrongs team were thoroughly supportive and professional throughout. They always had time to listen to what is needed.
I felt I was not just another customer but someone whom they cared about and provided a personal touch to the service. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure wishes were met.
Thank you so much for your support

As a family, we were very happy with the service that Armstrongs provided. They were courteous, respectful and compassionate when we were arranging my mum's funeral. They made everything easy for us at a difficult time and arranged a lovely service for my mum. They had earlier arranged my dad's funeral and their support, advice and communication were very much appreciated.

I would like to say a great big thank you to Wendy and the whole team at Armstrong’s for helping to make a difficult time for us and the family more bearable. Nothing was to much trouble for Armstrong’s. I believe they went above and beyond. There were difficulties and problems to overcome. But I can safely say I would whole heartedly recommend Armstrong’s for a professional, courteous, and caring service. So thank you from Frank and Sandra Morgan, Malcolm Mills and all the family.
Mother (Patricia Mills) can now rest in peace.
