We are Ginns & Gutteridge Funeral Directors in Leicester. Established over 100 years ago, we are always striving to set the standards in funeral care.
Our funeral home in Leicester city centre is a warm and welcoming environment. We have a beautiful stained-glass window donated to us by the church, a horse-drawn carriage and old ledgers dating back to April 1907. Most importantly, we have a team of people here who will work tirelessly to help you and your family through this difficult time.
We have specially equipped facilities and we welcome every religion and denomination and are ideally located near Guru Nanak Gurdwara and St Nicholas Church.
With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.

When a loved-one passes away, the family/relatives left behind hope the funeral director will demonstrate 3 things: 1) care/respect for the deceased person right up to the day of the funeral service. 2) support for the family who are organising the funeral, 3) a professional conduct. I can honestly say that Ginns & Gutteridge (Vaughan way, Leicester) demonstrated all 3 qualities in equal amounts. A special mention goes for Zoe Alexander (Funeral Service Arranger), whose caring attitude helped me to cope through a very difficult time. On behalf of myself and my immediate family, THANK YOU!
Response from Ginns & Gutteridge

The Name Gunn’s & Gutterridge has been around in Leicester since before I was born, I am now nearly 68 years old.
I always remember as a kids on our street when people passed away and everyone drew their curtains “Call Gunns & Gutteridge’.
When my twin brother died in March 2021 it became instinct to look up Ginns & Gutterridge it wasn’t until plans for the funeral we’re well unway that I twigged they were now under the umbrella of ‘Dignity’.
Anything against the norm gets me a bit jittery but there was no need, they did us really proud and deserve the five stars we have given them.
We’d be more than happy when we have to draw our curtains to give the them a call again.
Little did we know how soon that call would been, on January 6th my younger brother passed peacefully away in his sleep and for the second time in less than a year we telephoned ‘Ginns & Gutterridge’. No we didn’t we telephoned ‘Dignity’ and I realise just why they use this as their company name.
Again every thing they did was done in a dignified way and we were treated with the utmost respect and compassion.
Thank you to every involved - but a special thank you to Billy who was our first point of contact for both funerals and saw them through from beginning to end.

My brother and I could not be more pleased with the service we received from Ginns and Gutteridge which was very professional and carried out in a most sensitive manner. There were absolutely no hitches and although it was a very sad day, everything to do with the funeral went very smoothly. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone.

In these moments of deep despair, with emotions running high and with ones own grieve and loneliness. We need support and advice that is honest ,appropriate and with the ability to empathise with one our greatest challenge.
The challenge of a spouse moving over is one that you can never be prepared for !!!
However, Ginns & Gutteridge are prepared for this challenge; they act and provide love, consideration and compassion. In what is an horrific time. I found i was confused and they held my hand to enable me to navigate these storms and strong tidal waters.
Ginns & Gutteridge and especially ,The Business Manger Wayne Goddard, made the funeral for my wife a moment of joy and honour. They met all our wishes, questions and desires. I believe and know Donna, my wife, was proud of her send off and that's was down to this company.
To conclude, i can only strongly advice to use this service,it is impeccable and a rarity in our current climate. Thanks you so much Wayne and Co,your working ethics and efforts towards my family are that of divine angels on earth.

Everyone at Ginns and Gutteridge ensured that the service we received was compassionate and respectful from start to finish. When arranging the funeral the director went that extra mile to speak to the coroner on our behalf. On the day of the funeral, all the directors were informative, making sure we all knew what was going to happen when. They supported family members who were being pall bearers with a calm & patient attitude, ensuring everyone felt comfortable. There was always a sense that they looking out for you. One got down to my 5 year old grandson's level checking he was OK... and asking him if he wanted a job as they were dressed the same! When I went to collect my Dad's ashes, the director was warm & welcoming but also concerned for my wellbeing. As for the cost of it, we as a family respected our Dad's wishes for a simple funeral, nevertheless we all felt we received personal and thorough attention at all times. One point to make though are there are added costs for the minister, cremation and doctor which were not in our original quote.
Response from Ginns & Gutteridge
Thank you for your review and your kind comments. We are so pleased to know that you were satisfied with the service we provided. Our price lists show our fees only and disbursements such as cremation fees etc are extra - I do apologise if this was not explained at the time.

At what is a very difficult time, Ginns and Gutteridge make the funeral arrangements of a loved one much easier to cope with. Their professionalism, their empathy and their whole manner from first speaking to them to the funeral itself, nothing is too much trouble for them. They helped me throughout the time I dealt with them and made me feel as if they truly cared about my loss.
