Established in 2003, our North Shields funeral home is situated on Walton Avenue and if you are arriving by car to meet with us or to visit your loved one in our Chapel of Rest we have parking available. We organise funerals for people in North Shields and surrounding areas and can help plan funerals of all faiths, and funerals for those who have no religious belief.
Cremations are now the most popular form of funeral. Most people will want a ceremony at the crematorium - using their chapel - but you can also hold the service in a church or other venue of your choice prior to the cremation. It is entirely up to you if you want the service to be religious or non-religious.

My hubby Alan died of Covid in March of this year. Me and my family chose Darrin and his team to arrange the funeral and to look after Alan. I am so pleased we did ! The whole team is fantastic they were caring respectful and couldn't do enough to help us. A special thanks to Bill who supported us every day for ten days when we visited Alan ever day, and also to Emma and to Darren himself. I would recommend Darren and the team to everyone who I know will be going through a traumatic and sad experience. I am so thankful to them for the way they supported us and for the caring way they looked after

We used Daren perssons funeral services for my dad who we sadly lost very suddenly at the age of 54. We were worried about being able to afford to pay for a funeral and they put are mind at ease. We worked with karl from the north shields branch who was absolutely fantastic couldn't have asked for anyone better. Hopefully we wont need to arrange another funeral for a long time but if we do we will definitely be using daren perssons again.

A huge " thank you " to everyone connected with Daren Persson funeral services. At a time of sadness, my family were supported 100 percent of the way. Nothing was too much trouble and staff were both friendly and professional . Mr Bremner talked us through every step and his choice of celebrant, Mr Brown, was perfect. I would recommend this funeral service to everyone, knowing that friends and loved ones would be treated with respect and dignity.

I chose Daren Persson as our Funeral Director of choice when Daren came to discuss an advert for the church magazine of which I was editor at the time. When my husband died suddenly on our cruise to Norway, it was one less decision to make when i was at my most vulnerable.
I wanted to give Keith the best and Bill Bremner made it easy to do just that. I felt I was being guided into, not the most expensive options, but the ones best suited to our needs. On the day of the funeral, I felt that i could not go through with the ceremony but with Daren's encouragement, I managed it.
I hope it will be

I can't thank Daren Persson and his team enough for their excellent services during such a sad and emotional time for our family. We were guided through the whole process with equal measures of compassion, warmth and professionalism and encouraged and supported to make our own choices throughout. We didn't experience any of that stuffiness we expected to encounter with funeral directors and we were pleasantly surprised at the overall cost - no hidden surprises. Extra special thanks go to Bill and Suzanne who went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly every step of the way. They

Daren Persson provided an excellent service on the death of my father. Bill Bremner in particular was very supportive, and made the necessary arrangements with both great efficiency and sensitivity. He kept in touch with us as necessary between my Father's passing and the funeral. The funeral service itself went very smoothly and my father was sent off with great dignity.
