About
Earl & Co Funeral Directors offers compassionate funeral services, including cremation and burial options, designed to support families during their time of loss, ensuring a personalized farewell for their loved ones. Founded in 1898 and headquartered in Ashford, UK, Earl & Co Funeral Directors provides funeral services to families in Ashford and surrounding areas. The company was acquired by LM Funerals in May 2014, marking a strategic shift in its operational approach. The current CEO is Sam Kershaw.
Earl & Co Funeral Directors specializes in personalized funeral services, including cremation, burial, green and woodland funerals, and unattended cremations. The company also offers pre-arranged funeral plans, catering to clients in Ashford and nearby regions, ensuring that each service reflects the unique life of the deceased. In 2014, Earl & Co Funeral Directors reported zero revenue for that year. However, they recorded an EBITDA of zero, indicating that the company was navigating challenging financial circumstances during that period.
Earl & Co Funeral Directors plans to enhance its service offerings and expand its reach across the Southeast of England. The company aims to introduce new products tailored to modern funeral preferences. Following its acquisition in May 2014, the resources from this strategic move are expected to support these growth initiatives.
