When someone close to us dies, the weight of making arrangements can feel overwhelming. For families in Shropshire’s smaller towns and villages like Craven Arms, Leintwardine and Cleobury Mortimer, finding funeral directors who are both local and genuinely personal isn’t always straightforward.
At S. Hoskins & Son Funeral Directors in Ludlow, we understand that local families want compassionate care, clear communication, and continuity throughout. If you're searching for experienced, one-to-one support from funeral directors in Craven Arms or planning a Cleobury Mortimer funeral, we’re here to help.
Why Local Funeral Services Matter
Grief is deeply personal, and so is the support you need. That’s why choosing a funeral director with real local roots matters — not just for convenience, but for trust and continuity.
Understanding the Local Churches, Chapels & Traditions
From the church in Leintwardine to the crematoriums serving Craven Arms and Cleobury Mortimer, our long-standing relationships mean we know the people, the places, and the customs that matter most.
Personal Care in a Close-Knit Community
In small towns and villages, families often return to the same funeral director across generations. We value that trust. Stephen, our funeral director, limits himself to just 50–60 funerals per year so each family receives the time, care, and attention they deserve.
Avoiding the Impersonal Approach of Larger Firms
With us, you won’t be passed from person to person. Stephen answers your call, collects your loved one, arranges the funeral, and leads the service himself, offering genuine continuity from beginning to end.

Helping local families plan ahead. Stephen meets with you to document your preferences and pricing, giving clarity for the future.
