Newport's Independently Owned Funeral Director
Choosing a funeral director is a very personal decision.
At a time when there's already so much to think about, you deserve to feel comfortable with the people looking after you and the person you've lost.
Life Funerals is a truly independent, family owned funeral director based in Newport, Isle of Wight. We've built our business around a simple belief: arranging a funeral should be about the person who has died, the people who love them and finding a way to say goodbye that feels right.
We're proud to be part of the Newport community, supporting local people with honest advice, personal care and a choice of funeral services to suit different wishes and budgets.

Independent by choice, personal by nature
Being independent means we're able to shape the way we work around the people we look after.
We're not part of a funeral group or a consortium of owners, and we don't believe funeral arrangements should be dictated by a set way of doing things.
We believe in being open about costs, explaining your options properly and giving you the freedom to choose what matters.

A different kind of funeral director in Newport
We started Life because we felt there was room for something different.
Funerals have changed, and we believe people should have more choice over how they say goodbye. Not everyone wants a traditional funeral, and not everyone wants the simplest option either. Some families want something completely personal, while others simply want a dignified, straightforward arrangement without unnecessary extras.
We don't believe one approach should fit everyone.
Whether you're considering a traditional funeral, a personal celebration of life or a direct cremation, we'll take the time to understand what's important to you and help you make the right decisions.
There are no expectations about how a funeral should look, how much you should spend or what you should choose.
Our home in Newport
You'll find us at 17 Daish Way, Newport on the Isle of Wight.
We wanted somewhere people could visit without the stress of busy town-centre parking and a quieter, more private environment.
We're easy to find, with free parking available, and we're always happy to arrange an appointment if you'd like to meet us in person.
Looking after Newport families and the wider Island
Newport is our home, but our work reaches much further across the Isle of Wight.
We regularly support families in Carisbrooke, Parkhurst, Shide, Gunville, as well as families in Cowes, Ryde, East Cowes and across the Island.
We understand that families don't always live close together. Sometimes the person who has died lived in Newport, while their children or relatives are on another part of the Island or even on the mainland.
We'll do our best to make things straightforward, whether that means arranging a meeting at our premises, visiting you at home or keeping in touch by telephone and email.
All our cremations take place on the Isle of Wight. We believe it's important that the people entrusted to our care remain close to home.

The Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021, introduced following the Competition and Markets Authority's investigation into the funeral sector, requires funeral directors to display a Standardised Price List.
We fully support the principle behind these requirements. Our Standardised Price List provides our prices in the prescribed Government format and is available here:
Although DBS checks are not a general requirement for funeral directors, our team voluntarily undergoes Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks as part of our commitment to transparency and professionalism.
