This morning, upon arriving at our Swadlincote office, we discovered that our gates had been damaged overnight.
Thankfully, thanks to our security team, we have clear CCTV footage showing a vehicle colliding with the gates after leaving a nearby pub.
We understand that accidents happen, and we’d much prefer to resolve this amicably. We’re simply asking the individual involved to come forward and take responsibility for the damage caused.
If this was you, please contact us directly to arrange putting things right.
We are a local, independent family business and take great pride in maintaining our premises for the community we serve.
Thank you to our security team for their vigilance, and to the public for your support.
📞 Please get in touch via private message or call the office.

Flowers play such an important role in saying goodbye 🌸
At a funeral, words can sometimes feel hard to find… but flowers speak for us. They bring comfort, express love, and tell a story about the person we’ve lost. From a simple bouquet to a full tribute, each arrangement carries meaning, memories, and emotion.
We often see how a beautiful floral tribute can soften a difficult day — adding warmth, colour, and a deeply personal touch to a farewell.
That’s why we’re proud to work closely with our friends at Mrs Bouquet Flowers — led by my wife Naomi — who puts genuine care and thought into every single tribute. Together, we make sure families are supported every step of the way, with flowers that truly reflect a life well lived.
If you ever need guidance or inspiration, we’re always here to help 💚

Direct Cremation in Derby – Keep It Personal 🤍
When arranging a direct cremation, many families don’t realise they have a choice.
Large corporate funeral providers may offer low prices, but often you’ll never meet the person caring for your loved one… and decisions are handled through call centres, not local people.
At Marc Stephens Funeral Service, we do things differently.
✔️ A truly independent, family-run funeral director
✔️ Local to Derby & Swadlincote – we know our community
✔️ Your loved one is cared for by our own team, not outsourced
✔️ You deal with real people, face to face, not a national chain
✔️ Dignity, respect and compassion at every step
Our Direct Cremation service from £1,295 offers a simple, dignified farewell without the fuss – but with all the care your loved one deserves.
Choosing a local funeral director means:
You’re supporting a local family business, and in return, you receive a level of care the big companies simply can’t match.
If you’d like to speak to someone, we’re here whenever you need us.
