Barlby & Osgodby
Providing Funeral services in Barlby for over 70 years
Funeral Directors Serving Barlby, North Yorkshire
J Punton & Son are independent family funeral directors serving families in Barlby, Osgodby, Selby and the surrounding North Yorkshire villages, from our funeral home in nearby Snaith.
For generations, our family has supported local families through bereavement, providing personal and compassionate funeral care with continuity from the first telephone call through to the funeral itself.
Whether you are arranging a traditional church funeral, burial, cremation, direct cremation or a more individual celebration of life, we can guide you through every stage and take care of the practical arrangements on your behalf.
We are available 24 hours a day when someone dies and can bring your loved one into our care from home, hospital, hospice or a nursing or residential home.
Funerals at All Saints Church, Barlby
Barlby, All Saints is situated on Church Lane and remains the parish church serving Barlby.
The present church developed from an earlier chapel of ease. The nave was rebuilt in the late 18th century, with the chancel added in 1895 as Barlby's population grew. The church has a distinctive painted wooden bell turret and stained-glass windows depicting the Ascension and Crucifixion.
We can arrange and conduct funeral services at All Saints, liaising with the minister and church on the family's behalf and taking care of the arrangements for the service.
A church funeral can be followed by burial where appropriate, or the cortege can travel onwards to a crematorium for the committal.
Families with connections to another church or place of worship can, of course, choose to hold the funeral there instead.
Burials and cemetery arrangements
For families in Barlby choosing a traditional burial, we can advise on the churchyard and cemetery options available within the local area and make the necessary arrangements with the appropriate burial authority.
Nearby Selby Cemetery on Westfield Road provides facilities for both burials and the interment of cremated remains. The cemetery includes dedicated lawn and ashes sections, as well as areas serving different religions.
If your family already owns a grave, perhaps where a husband, wife, parent or other relative has previously been buried, we can help establish the necessary information and arrange for the grave to be reopened where permitted.
We can also arrange the interment of ashes following a cremation.
Cremation services for Barlby families
Families in Barlby have a choice of crematoria within the wider Yorkshire area.
The whole funeral does not have to take place at a crematorium. Some families prefer a service at All Saints or another local church followed by a smaller committal at the crematorium.
Alternatively, the complete funeral service can take place at the crematorium.
We can explain the different options available, arrange the booking and transport, and help you choose an appropriate service based upon your family's wishes.
For families who do not want a traditional attended funeral, we can also arrange a simple direct cremation.
Personal and individual funerals
We believe a funeral should reflect the life and personality of the individual rather than simply follow a standard format.
Families can incorporate favourite music, photographs, flowers, hobbies, sporting interests, personalised service sheets, visual tributes and other meaningful touches into the funeral.
We can arrange traditional funeral transport as well as alternative vehicles where something different would better represent the person who has died.
Families are also welcome to spend private time with their loved one before the funeral in our Chapel of Rest in Snaith.
Funeral receptions and gatherings
Barlby's position immediately outside Selby gives families a wide choice of venues for refreshments and gatherings following a funeral.
There are community facilities within Barlby itself, including Barlby Library and Community Hub, while neighbouring Osgodby has Osgodby Village Institute. Osgodby's community website describes the Institute as hosting a wide range of local activities.
There are also numerous pubs, hotels, restaurants and function venues in nearby Selby for families wanting a larger funeral reception.
We are happy to plan the funeral timings around whatever reception arrangements the family chooses.
Serving Barlby, Osgodby and the Selby area
Barlby lies immediately to the north-east of Selby and forms part of the civil parish of Barlby with Osgodby.
Its proximity to Selby means families have easy access to the town's churches, cemetery and other funeral facilities while still retaining the identity of their own village community.
Our funeral home in Snaith is within easy reach of Barlby, allowing our own team to provide funeral care throughout Barlby, Osgodby, Selby, Cliffe, Hemingbrough and the surrounding villages.
Independent family funeral directors for Barlby
J Punton & Son remains an independent, family-run funeral director.
When you contact us, you deal directly with our own family and team rather than being passed through a national call centre.

From bringing your loved one into our care and making the funeral arrangements, through Chapel of Rest visits and the funeral itself, our aim is to provide the same personal and familiar support throughout.
