LM Funerals

LM Funerals is a leading UK group of funeral directors and currently operates funeral homes across the South of England and the Midlands.  LM Funerals performs approximately 6,800 funerals a year across the Group.

The business is driven by caring ethics which have enabled a high proportion of sales to be made on the basis of past family use, personal recommendation or professional referral.

Further to the bolt-ons of Isons in 2004, Funeral Centre in 2005 and Nash Funeral Services in 2008, LM Funerals acquired John Stuart Funeral Services Limited in September 2009.  During 2010, LM Funerals has made four further acquisitions: CS Bowyer Limited and KY Green Limited in January, and Chris White and Pomphrey & Mercer in June. These acquisitions, alongside organic roll out of new branch offices, have aided the Group's expansion and increased its geographic reach with the business now trading as 23 local brands from 63 sites. A number of further acquisition opportunities are currently being investigated.
