Funeral Directors Serving Carlton
J Punton & Son are independent family funeral directors serving Carlton, Snaith and the surrounding villages with compassionate, personal funeral care for over 70 years. As a long-established family business at the heart of the local community, we are dedicated to supporting families with kindness, dignity and professional guidance during one of life’s most difficult times.
We understand the importance of local traditions, familiar places and personal wishes when arranging a funeral. Every life is unique, and we take the time to help families create meaningful and individual farewells that reflect the person being remembered.
Funeral Services in Carlton
Families in Carlton have a range of funeral options available, including traditional church services, cremation services, celebrations of life, direct cremation and bespoke funeral arrangements tailored to individual wishes and beliefs.
Many local families choose to hold funeral services at the beautiful St Mary's Parish Church, which has served the village community for generations and provides a peaceful and historic setting for funeral services.
Funeral services may also be held at St Mary's Catholic Church for families wishing for a Catholic service and spiritual guidance.
Carlton Methodist Chapel also offers a welcoming and familiar setting for families seeking a Methodist funeral service within the village community.
For burial services, Carlton Cemetery provides a local and peaceful resting place. The cemetery also features its historic chapel, which remains an important part of the village's heritage and is currently being considered for future redevelopment by the local authority.
Crematoriums Serving Carlton
We regularly help families arrange funeral services at a number of nearby crematoriums, including:
York Crematorium
Memoria Crematorium, Barnby Dun
Pontefract Crematorium
We can guide families through the options available and help choose the setting that feels most appropriate for their loved one and family wishes.
Woodland Remembrance and Ashes Interment
J Punton & Son also offer peaceful woodland remembrance options including ashes interment and remembrance tree planting within our woodland area. Many families find comfort in having a quiet and natural place to visit and remember loved ones amongst trees, wildlife and changing seasons.
Ashes interment is also available at both St Mary's churches and in the council run cemetery.
Gathering After the Funeral
Following the funeral service, many families choose to gather together to share memories and spend time with relatives and friends. Popular venues in and around Carlton include:
The Foresters Arms
Drax Sports & Social Club
Carlton Towers
The magnificent Carlton Towers Estate, home to Lord and Lady Fitzalan Howard, provides one of Yorkshire’s most distinctive historic settings and is often chosen for larger family gatherings and celebrations of life.
We are always happy to assist families with practical arrangements and local recommendations if required.
