Welcome
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.
Peter Hudson, son of George, took over the company and turned it into the well known Funeral Directors it is today. Now Mary, daughter of Peter, and her husband Bruce Harris continue to run the company the way in which it has been run for over 130 years. Mary and Bruce now have a family, Adam and Emily and who knows perhaps one or both of them will take over in the future.
Suffering the loss of a loved one, whatever the circumstances is a very distressing and emotional experience. There are many unfamiliar tasks which must be carried out and often you need to rely on the guidance of a professional funeral director. We offer a very personal, caring service, carried out with quiet professionalism which can be of great help to you in the period immediately following a death.
Together we will guide you through all the necessary arrangements so that you have the ability to choose the way in which the funeral is organised.
George Hudson and Sons can offer a complete funeral service from the simplest to the most elaborate, including flowers, press notices, catering, hymn sheets and monumental work, all under our control.
This website has been prepared to assist you and help provide answers to some of the difficult questions which may arise.
