Business Overview
Founded in 1938 through the partnership of Trevor Collier and John Brain, the company established itself in the village of Drybrook as a dignified funeral director serving the needs of the bereaved in the local districts.
The company thrived throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s and eventually transferred the ownership from the original founder’s families to Ernest Heal & Sons Independent Family Funeral Directors who already had a long association with the business.
The day to day operations of Collier & Brain Funeral Directors are managed by Robin Hughes, a long serving employee of the company. As a local resident, Robin has a comprehensive knowledge of local traditions and the community that he lives and works with.
Whether you need advice regarding the choice of funeral services available or you need information regarding Golden Charter Funeral Plans, Robin fully understands the sensitivity of such enquiries and that time needs to be afforded for such decisions to be made.
