David Butterfield Independent Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year

Cleckheaton funeral director David Butterfield Independent Funeral Directors has been named the best small funeral planner in the Yorkshire and East Lancashire region at this year’s Funeral Planner of the Year Awards, run by funeral plan provider Golden Charter.

Hosted by radio DJ Ken Bruce, the awards took place at the spectacular National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh and featured a performance by the world-famous Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

In addition to the Funeral Planner of the Year accolade, the Woodland Trust has dedicated trees on behalf of David Butterfield Independent Funeral Directors, which are to be planted locally at Sibsey Wood, Lincolnshire in recognition of the company’s achievement.

Golden Charter CEO Suzanne Grahame said: “The respected and caring work of independent funeral directors within their local communities often goes unrecognised and so it gives me great pleasure to congratulate the team at David Butterfield Independent Funeral Directors for their tremendous achievement in winning this award.

“The award recognises the excellent service the team from David Butterfield Independent Funeral Directors has delivered to their local community, by helping individuals through the funeral plan process and supporting families when they need it the most.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards celebrate the independent funeral directors who are excelling in promoting pre-paid funeral plans, and by doing so providing peace of mind for families that everything is taken care of.
