Stephen Collop originally trained and worked as a funeral director over 40 years ago. In 1997, an opportunity arose to purchase the chapel of rest at Kirk-lane, Yeadon. Stephen is very well-known locally and wanted to provide a caring and personal service to the community, but even he did not anticipate the response.
Due to the success, a second chapel of rest was then acquired at Newall Carr Road, Otley, where Stephen's daughter in-law Suzanne Collop is based. Suzanne trained and passed her diploma in Funeral Directing in May 2009 with the National Association of Funeral Directors.
