Welcome to Ginns & Gutteridge Funeral Directors in Sileby.We understand that life with those you love is deeply personal, so it is a privilege to honour the final wishes of families as they say farewell to their loved ones. Our community is very special to us, and we are proud to have such close ties with many places of worship, ministers and local businesses in Loughborough.
We cater for funerals of all faiths and cultures, burial and cremation services, and non-religious funerals. If an alternative funeral is most fitting, then we can arrange for bespoke services, such as woodland burials, green funerals and burials at sea.
Situated on Swan Street, next to the post office, we are easily accessible by road with parking available at the front of our funeral home, and by train, with the Sileby train station, a 5-minute walk away. We are also ideally located close to St Gregory’s Church, Sileby Methodist Church and a memorial park.

The whole team were outstanding in every way from start to finish, from my very first visit I was shown the upmost respect, kindness and empathy. I was helped and guided through the most difficult process that follows any loss of a loved one, with helpful suggestions and information throughout. The funeral service, although very difficult and distressing, was beautiful and respectful in every way and I was comforted throughout. I cannot thank these people enough.

The whole process of organising mum's funeral was carried out with sensitivity and compassion.
It was easy to adapt the arrangements to our wishes.
We were well supported on the day of the funeral itself.
We couldn't fault the service offered by H Towell.

With the help of H Towell's my mum's funeral was as nice as it could be on such a difficult day. It was very well organised by my local branch, they were lovely. And I felt very looked after on the day, the funeral director was very professional and put me at ease. I was very happy with the service.

I would like to thank H Towells for organising my fathers funeral. The main thing I felt was that I felt under no pressure throughout the procedure of choosing and organising the funeral. Leisa was very understanding, showed such empathy and kindness throughout.
Everything was organised at my pace and all my wishes were considered.
Even working under very restrictive Covid conditions Leisa was very thoughtful and everything was very professional.
The funeral itself was very simple, just what my dad would have wanted and many of the people who came or saw it by webcam have said that is what they would like for their.
Special thanks to Leisa for all she had done.
Response from Ginns & Gutteridge

Everyone involved were very professional. On the day of the funeral mum was treated with all the dignity and respect she deserved. Everything taking place was explained and all our wishes taken into account.
We appreciated Maggie walking in front of the cars in the road where mum lived, an old tradition we thought had been lost.
Many thanks

At a very difficult time for the family we were treated extremely professionally at all times with sympathy, compassion and sensitivity. When we visited the Sileby office Petra was professional but also friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble and, when we kept changing our minds over some aspects, these where handled without any fuss. All telephone calls to the local office and the customer service centre were dealt with professionally with an excellent telephone manner. Thank you.
