Gowards Funeral Services remain a family owned and run business, we are the only independent funeral service in Fakenham.
We have served the area of Norfolk and generations
of the same families for nearly 58 years.

The business, started by Claude Goward, has been in its current location since October 1966.  The day-to-day running and management is now carried out by Heather Goward assisted by Paul Cook and a very supportive staff.  Paul, a qualified funeral director with over 42 years experience, joined in June 2016.

​As an independent funeral service we are able to offer a more personal service, dedicating our time to the needs of the bereaved and their loved ones.  We pride ourselves in our commitment to care and understanding in what we believe is a warm and approachable manner, qualities we feel are invaluable at such a time, knowing that our reputation, commitment and professionalism will help you through.
