Jacob Conroy & Son has been an established Morpeth based funeral director for over 40 years, serving the local community and earning its trust. Jacob set up his own business in the mid 1970s operating out of the old church hall in Pegswood. He developed a reputation for high standards of personal care to bereaved families and grew a very loyal customer base as a result.
In 1989, the move to a modern, purpose built funeral home in the Oldgate, Morpeth, demonstrated his commitment to local people. His sons, Peter and Mark, joined their father in the business as it continued to expand with a new office opening in Bedlington in 1994. Two years later, further expansion prompted a move to the former Liberal Party and National Union of Miners headquarters in Guidepost.
Approaching retirement in 2007, Jacob sought out William Purves, another family business with ethics and experience to take on and uphold his fine legacy.
