The business spans five generations and was established in 1910 by William Samuel Gayton and his wife Elizabeth. William was, at that time, the Village Undertaker, Carpenter and Wheelwright. The business was then taken over by his son, Archibald John Gayton and his wife Lilian. Their eldest son Arthur William (John) and his wife Maureen took over the business when Archibald retired.
They are still proprietors of the business, although they are no longer involved in the day to day running. By 1985 John and Maureen's son David William had joined the business. In 1998 their daughter Jane Elizabeth became involved, studying and gaining a DIP. The business is currently run by David and Jane Gayton.

We, as a family, were so appreciative of the help, kindness & professionalism that the team at Gaytons, especially that of Jack Cornell gave us in our time of need. Particularly, when unforeseen circumstances affected our plans. Jack calmly took charge and paved the way for a good outcome after a challenging day, for which we are forever grateful.
The team went above and beyond to fulfil our wishes and I would highly recommend them.
