Susan Whymark Funeral Service Ltd is an independent, family run business with funeral homes in Eye and Framlingham in Suffolk and Harleston and Diss in Norfolk.
Susan Whymark made the decision to become a funeral director when she was just 19, following the loss of her grandmother. “It seemed like such a caring profession, I had no idea how much detail they go into. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt my Nan would be really well looked after. I realised it is more than a job, it is a vocation”. Susan became a funeral director in 1996, gained the National Association of Funeral Directors diploma in 1998 and founded Susan Whymark Funeral Service in Eye with mother Dianne in 2004. In 2011 Susan opened her second premises in Harleston then in 2024 opened her third branch in Diss and was honoured to purchase Moore Bros Funeral Directors in Framlingham, another family run funeral service for 5 generations, adding another opportunity to serve the bereaved in those areas. Susan Whymark Funeral Service Ltd remains a trusted, small, independent and family run business, free from the constraints of the many larger Independent companies, corporate or group-owned businesses in the profession. Susan is one of the few female funeral directors in the country to open a funeral service from scratch without it being a family concern handed down over generations.
