B Matthews Funeral Directors

A part of Southampton’s landscape since 1959, B Matthews was established by Bernard Matthews to provide a sympathetic and dignified service with a local touch.

Over the years we have maintained the same commitment to traditional values, combined with consideration and respect for our customers wishes.

With a Choice Funeral Plan

Our prepaid funeral plans allow you to make arrangements for your funeral, which may support your loved ones in understanding of your final wishes and risks of rising costs of Funeral Directors services.

We offer three types of Choice Funeral Plans, each created to meet different individual circumstances and requirements.
