Our years of service will
serve you well
When you place your trust in Tom Woodhouse, you can expect the highest standards of professionalism. Our values of compassion, dedication, integrity and respect - for everyone - drive our truly distinct service.
Tom Woodhouse has been an established Blyth based funeral director for many years, serving the local community and earning its trust. Having worked as a funeral director for over 20 years, Tom set up his own business providing first class services from his first funeral home in Park Road.
In 2014, Tom sought out another family business with ethics and experience to take on the legacy of his own. William Purves, with its five generations and reputation for premier funeral services was a natural fit. Today our values of compassion, dedication, integrity and respect are at the heart of Tom Woodhouse as the team continue providing first class support to bereaved families in Blyth and the surrounding area.
Helping you honour their life
As the final ritual of life, a funeral is our way of saying goodbye, honouring a life lived and a life loved. Funerals play an important role in our grieving process and often we can feel a huge responsibility to get it right. Which is why we start with the view that every funeral is unique and every funeral is special. In years to come we want you to look back without regret and take comfort from the way you laid your loved one to rest. We have been guiding and supporting families through bereavement for many generations. Let our family help your family by sharing with you the wealth of understanding and experience we have gathered over the years.
