Brayton
Providing Funeral services in Brayton for over 70 years
Funeral Directors Serving Brayton, North Yorkshire
J Punton & Son are independent family funeral directors serving families in Brayton, Selby and the surrounding villages, from our funeral home in Snaith.
For generations, our family has supported local families through bereavement, providing personal funeral care with time, understanding and attention to detail. Whether you are arranging a traditional church funeral, cremation, burial, direct cremation or a completely individual celebration of life, we can guide you through every stage.
We are available 24 hours a day when someone dies and can bring your loved one into our care from home, hospital, a nursing or residential home, or hospice.
Funerals at St Wilfrid's Church, Brayton
At the heart of Brayton is St Wilfrid's Church on Doncaster Road, the historic parish church serving Brayton and the surrounding community. The church continues to offer both traditional and contemporary forms of worship.
We can arrange funeral services at St Wilfrid's, liaising with the minister and church on the family's behalf and taking care of the practical arrangements for the funeral.
A church service can be followed by burial where appropriate, or the cortege can travel onwards to a crematorium for the committal.
For families with connections to another church or place of worship, we can of course arrange the funeral there instead.
Burial and cemetery arrangements
For families choosing burial, there are cemetery and churchyard options within the wider Selby area.
We can advise on the choices available and liaise with the appropriate church, cemetery or burial authority to arrange the grave, interment and funeral timings.
North Yorkshire Council also maintains cemeteries within the area and provides arrangements for burials and the interment of cremated remains.
If a family already owns a grave, or wishes for someone to be buried with a husband, wife or other family member, we can help establish the necessary details and make the arrangements.
Cremation services for families in Brayton
Families in Brayton have a choice of crematoria across the surrounding area, and we can discuss which is most suitable based upon the type of funeral you would like, travelling distance and service availability.
The funeral does not necessarily have to begin at the crematorium.
Some families prefer a traditional service at St Wilfrid's Church or another local church, followed by a smaller committal at the crematorium. Others choose to hold the complete funeral service at the crematorium.
We can also arrange a direct cremation for families who do not want a traditional attended funeral service.
A personal funeral rather than a standard package
No two people are the same, and we don't believe their funerals should have to be either.
We can help families create a service that reflects the person who has died, incorporating favourite music, photographs, flowers, hobbies, sporting interests, personalised service sheets, visual tributes and other meaningful details.
Funeral transport can also be personalised, from a traditional hearse and limousines to alternative vehicles where requested.
Families are welcome to spend private time with their loved one in our Chapel of Rest in Snaith before the funeral.
Funeral receptions and gatherings
There are numerous options in Brayton, Selby and the surrounding area for families wishing to gather for refreshments following a funeral.
This might be a traditional funeral reception at a local pub, hotel or function venue, or a more informal gathering at a community venue.
St Wilfrid's itself has a Parish Hall and hosts a range of community events there.
We are happy to coordinate the funeral timings with any reception arrangements the family has made.
Serving Brayton and the Selby area
Brayton sits immediately south of Selby and is one of the larger communities in the Selby area. The village is closely connected with Selby while retaining its own identity, centred around St Wilfrid's Church and the surrounding residential community.
One of the area's best-known landmarks is Brayton Barff, the prominent wooded hill just outside the village. North Yorkshire Council maintains the woodland as a recreational area.
Our location in Snaith means we can readily serve families throughout Brayton, Selby and the surrounding villages.
Independent family funeral directors for Brayton
Choosing a funeral director is an important and very personal decision.
J Punton & Son remains an independent family funeral director. When you contact us, you deal directly with our own family and team rather than a national call centre.
We can take care of everything required for the funeral, while giving families as much involvement and choice as they would like.
From the first telephone call and bringing your loved one into our care, through making the arrangements, visiting our Chapel of Rest and conducting the funeral itself, our aim is to provide continuity and personal support throughout.
