The business is now managed by John\u2019sson-in-law Alan James. He said: \u201c Although there has been a lot of changes in the profession over the last 70 years, the actual duties, cares and responsibilities are unchanging. We are here to serve, help and support families before, during and after the funeral service\u201d.<\/p>\n
John Edwards Funeral Directors are very much a 21st Century funeral director and embrace the changes of the industry by offering a comprehensive range of both traditional and contemporary funerals.<\/p>\n
