Independent Family Funeral Directors · Serving Dove Holes, Buxton since 1812

About Us

Matthew & Georgina are here for you to listen, understand and advise you through a difficult time.

Tideswell Funeral Services is now under the ownership of Jepson Funerals Limited, a fifth-generation family owned and run business. They have combined their years of experience to offer you support in every aspect of arranging a funeral and we hope we can make this time a little easier.

Our History

Your local Funeral Director in Dove Holes

Established in 1812, Tideswell Funeral Services has a long history of serving local families and remains closely connected to the community.

In 2025, the business was acquired by the Jepson family, fifth-generation funeral directors, marking a new chapter in Tideswells’ history.

Sally and Alan retired at the end of August 2026, while their daughter, Georgina, joined the team as Funeral Administrator, continuing her family’s connection with the business.

At Tideswell Funeral Services, we are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of funeral care at a fair and reasonable cost, ensuring every service is conducted with dignity and attention to detail.

We offer a private chapel of rest with peaceful viewing facilities, and our 24-hour call-out service is available to all families whenever they need us.

Our services range from traditional church funerals to eco-friendly woodland ceremonies, and we are experienced in meeting both religious and non-religious preferences.

At Tideswells, we never rush or pressure families. Instead, we provide guidance and support with compassion and respect.

It is a true honour to serve as funeral directors—to be entrusted with such an important role during a family’s time of loss is a privilege.
