    About Humphris Funerals

    Humphris Funerals has been providing services within the local area for over 140 years.

    Joseph Humphris started Humphris Funerals from his front room at 74 Broughton Road, working as a carpenter, joiner and undertaker, then moved to Queens Road to a proper workshop.

    Harold, Joseph’s eighth son, took over after his father had an accident which left him disabled. After the First World War, Harold moved to the present location in Albert Street which had previously been used as a brewery and later in the decade purchased the first motor hearse in Banbury.

    Humphris’ current business principle, Matthew Humphris took over from his father and uncle in 2010 after they retired, following in the footsteps of five generations of the Humphris Family.

    Our experienced and caring team will advise and support you at every stage of the funeral planning process, with a wide range of funeral options and transparent pricing. With our extensive experience serving the local communities within Banbury, we endeavour to cater to every funeral request to ensure that your loved one is treated with the utmost care and respect.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Pre-paid Funeral Plans, please come and see us in our funeral home, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
