Mears Of Aylesbury

Unlike many Funeral Directors in the area, who were previously family-owned but who are now part of major national chains, Mears Of Aylesbury is proudly independent and family-owned.

The Aylesbury branch, conveniently located on 50-52 Kingsbury in the heart of Aylesbury, is managed by Philippa Smith who has over 30 years’ funeral profession experience. The purpose-designed branch has a private arranging room with comfortable seats and a sofa, chapel of rest, large service / reception room and our unique ‘Community ZoomRoom’, as well as a state-of-the-art mortuary and care facilities. Families can rest assured that their loved ones will be cared for locally at the branch.
