J Punton & Son are independent family funeral directors serving Hensall 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.

Funeral Services in Hensall
Families in Hensall can choose from a range of funeral options 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 St Paul's Church, Hensall. Situated in the heart of the village, St Paul's has served generations of local families and provides a beautiful and peaceful setting for funeral services, thanksgiving services and acts of remembrance.
Whether you are planning a traditional church funeral, a non-religious celebration of life or a simple family farewell, we are here to offer guidance and support throughout every stage of the arrangements.
Burial and Ashes Interment
St Paul's Churchyard offers burial opportunities within the village and remains an important place of remembrance for many local families.
The churchyard also provides options for the interment of ashes, allowing loved ones to be remembered in peaceful surroundings close to the community they called home.
We are always happy to discuss burial, cremation and ashes interment options and help families choose the arrangements that feel most appropriate for their loved one and family wishes.
Crematoriums Serving Hensall
For families choosing cremation, we regularly assist with funeral services at:
Pontefract Crematorium
Memoria Crematorium, Barnby Dun
Both crematoriums are easily accessible from Hensall and offer peaceful settings for cremation services and celebrations of life.
We are always pleased to help families understand the options available and choose the venue that best reflects their 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 natural place to visit and remember loved ones, surrounded by trees, wildlife and changing seasons in a tranquil countryside setting.
Gathering After the Funeral
Following the funeral service, many families choose to gather together to share memories and spend time with relatives and friends.
While Hensall itself has limited reception venues, there are several welcoming locations in nearby villages and towns suitable for funeral receptions, celebrations of life and family gatherings. We are always happy to assist families with recommendations and practical arrangements where required.
