Melville & Co

Description

Melville & Co. Limited was founded in 1858 and is one of Belfast’s longest established funeral directors. It was originally set up to provide a range of funeral services to Victorian Northern Ireland. In the late 19th Century, Melville & Co. was well known in North Belfast for its horse drawn funerals, which left its Townsend Street premises for Carnmoney, often on a Sunday afternoon.

Now owned by the Morgan family, Melville & Co. is still serving the Greater Belfast Area. However, the company has grown under the new ownership, and now operates five funeral homes in Belfast and Bangor.

This growth has made the company the largest independent funeral director in Northern Ireland. Nevertheless, Melville & Co. is still providing that personal and caring approach to the local community, and maintaining the qualities of respect, dignity and discretion, which have been an integral part of the company since 1858.

Every funeral home, each identifiable by their clock tower, is modern, private and comfortable.

Each contains a service room with electric organ, several rest rooms and an arranging room for privacy. Ample car parking has also been made available for your convenience.

All our premises are decorated and furnished to provide families with an environment that is both private and comfortable.
