My name is David and I run and own David Button Independent Funeral Directors, a small, family run business with a friendly, relaxed and calming atmosphere. This, I believe, makes the funeral home very unique. Situated in Walton on the outskirts of Felixstowe, with free on street parking all around and the added benefit of being on a main bus route, David Button Independent Funeral Drectors is easy and convenient to find for everyone.
We can arrange a service from a simple no service cremation to a full church service followed by a burial or cremation. Whatever your wishes for your loved ones service, we will guide you through every step. We can help you select floral tributes, go through the order of service if you so wish and explain all the options that are available to you.
Planning for later life is never an easy thing to do, but it can be comforting and reassuring to know that you've taken care of your arrangements, including your funeral. By taking some time now, you can provide both financial and practical help for your loved ones in the future. Simply call us on 01394 200793 or call into our office to find out more.
When a death occurs, whether expected or not, there is an inevitable feeling of sadness and loss experienced by the close family, often resulting in shock and emotional stress. Certain practical steps, however, need to be taken at an early stage - including registering of the death. Whether or not a death is expected a qualified doctor (GP or Duty doctor) should, on every occasion, be contacted to attend and confirm the death.
Funeral fees are divided into two parts. The Funeral Directors fees, such as administration of paperwork; removal of the deceased and choice of coffin and Disbursements. These are the fees such as Crematoria, Cemetery, Minister, Church, Doctors Certificates for cremation. If you need any advice on planning a funeral, or don't know where to start, we are here to help.

We approached David Button funeral directors on a personal recommendation following the death of my father. They were responsive, caring and efficient. They replied promptly both to our initial and any subsequent queries. They went through all the elements of what was required in a calm and sensitive way and we felt we had as long as we needed to reflect on what we wanted to do at the funeral and interment without being hurried or pushed in any particular direction.
David and his colleagues deal with everything themselves and the service they offer is a very personal one with close attention to

We where recommended David Button Funeral Service by a family friend and I couldn’t have been anymore grateful for all they have done for us.
The service was professional yet personalised. They took into consideration our family culture and went above and beyond to make everything happen within one week.
I could not fault their service.
From the first approach David Button was very prompt with his replies. He kept the family up to date with everything and also helping to liaise with the registrars when there was a complication.

I would like to commend David Button Independent Funeral Directors for their impeccable service during a very difficult time. The communication from everyone and in particular Joanna was at all times considered, sympathetic and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and they made everything very easy for us. They always had time for us and made us feel very comfortable in our choices. The recommended celebrant, Julian, was first class and again made everything as easy as possible for us.
A big thank you to all at David Button's for their service and professionalism.

Highly recommend David Button & the full team. In the last six months we had to use his services twice. The first time we were frankly clueless and he was able to explain it all easily. Communication was great, especially as my father who was arranging the funeral lived abroad, so had to rely on phone/email. Everything was arranged professionally well in advance. It may sound weird but the service was lovely despite the circumstances due to minister(?) appointed at Seven Hills crematorium. Second time round was during even stricter lockdown which meant barely any family could attend but again the

I recently entrusted the arrangements for the funeral of my father-in-law to David Button Independent Funeral Directors and am delighted with the service provided by them.
From my initial meeting with their team, they provided a warm and friendly atmosphere in which to discuss the various aspects of the service. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they accepted responsibility for organising everything from floral tributes and Order of Service cards to appointing an appropriate celebrant to lead the proceedings.
The service was carried out in a relaxed atmosphere with dignity and kindness

I struggle to find words on how to describe David and Joanna's service, other than exceptional. After the death of my mother David arranged an appointment with us the following day (social distanced and wearing a mask of course). He was very kind, considerate and very professional. They took brilliant care of my mum, and handled everything with no problems whatsoever. The service was beautiful as they chose a celebrant best suited to our family which was greatly appreciated. I can't recommend this service enough if you are in Felixstowe, Ipswich or the surrounding area. Thank you David and Joanna

I had the privilege of getting to know David and Joanna, before my husband sadly passed away.
My husband took out a funeral plan with them.
They are incredibly supportive and will go the extra mile to provide the funeral your loved one deserves.
My husband wanted a vintage tractor and trailer and David and his team went to tremendous lengths to arrange everything including getting us all over the A12 safely!
Full Marks for professionalism, empathy and attention to detail.
They will do their utmost to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day and are there for the family before and after
