Our History
Since being a young boy, Matthew’s ambition always was to own his own Funeral Directors, and having grown up in Bletchley, that was the obvious choice of location to base the company.
After leaving school, Matthew’s first job was at Crownhill Crematorium, Milton Keynes, where he became the youngest qualified Crematorium attendant in the country. Having gained experience at several local Funeral Directors, he spent 10 years working for H.W.Mason & Sons, where he passed the National Association of Funeral Director’s diploma in Funeral Directing, becoming one of the most qualified Funeral Directors in the area.
Robin also grew up in the Milton Keynes area.
After leaving school, Robin worked in many administrative roles for various industries, gaining a lot of experience in the many different fields that these roles presented.
After meeting Matthew, Robin’s interest in the Funeral trade developed, leading to the decision to open their own Funeral service.
They hope their children will share their passion and carry on the family business. In fact, Matthew and Robin's sons, Dominic and Jack, are currently working at Finch & Sons, training in all aspects of the trade.
Dominic celebrates his 10th year at Finch and Sons in 2024.
Of course, we must also mention our four legged member of the family, Ted. The beloved Cavapoo has been a much loved member of our family since 2017, and eagerly awaits an opportunity to meet anyone that would like to.
Dog owners, and other animal lovers alike, understand the unique bond that forms between human and animal, recognizing the invaluable support and comfort pets provide during difficult times. Ted's gentle demeanour and unwavering loyalty serve as a reminder of the profound impact dogs have on our emotional well-being. Ted embraces the opportunity to meet bereaved families and will happily sit and accompany those who wish to meet him. We are of course dog friendly, and know that in the midst of a deeply sad time, the company of a furry friend like Ted offers a source of joy and comfort
