Our Team

For Funeral Service

Andrew Francis

I first entered the Funeral Profession at 16 years old, and happy to say I was lucky to find my calling at such a young age, I was fortunate enough to have trained and worked across the country, learning many regional customs and meeting many amazing families, before returning home to Norfolk and serving families for 10 years with a Local Funeral Director.  I decided that my desire was to serve families in my own style offering a friendly, modern and bespoke funeral service, all whilst ensuring costs where kept fair and always open to public scrutiny.

Katie now 21 and Emma 18, have stood by Dad all the way, and whilst they are off building there own lives in work and university, there support, love and input has helped our direction.

Realising my girls needed there space from clingy dad I met Jerry Lee, my now 6 year old Frenchie who is not only our mascot but a rock, his amazing personality and need for constant cuddles has made many a family at ease.

Our success has not only been many hours of hard work and some times restless nights, but I have built around me the most amazing team, wonderful friends, mostly former clients which was always the business I wanted to build.

I have lots of plans for the future of Andrew Francis Funeral Service, and excited to see where we go, whilst always ensuring our Families come first.

A local lad, Steve joined the team of Andrew Francis Funeral Service on the 1st June 2017, and will be the Funeral Director and Branch Manager at our King’s Lynn Branch.

Steve has gained a vast wealth of knowledge and experience in the funeral industry over the past 7 years, and this experience ranges from cleaning and driving the funeral vehicles to coffin fitting, preparation and arranging.

Steve spent 22 years in the British Army and is a very talented musician, and will play the last post on any veteran’s funeral that we are looking after. He also plays principle cornet for Norfolk Wherry Brass that are based near Stalham. Steve is also passionate about Veterans Funerals and Bereavement support for all that served in the Armed Forces and Merchant Navy. Steve is married to Debbie and has two daughters, Chloe and Lauren.

Kevin is based at our Watton office, and has worked for us since October 2014, previously to this, he was a director of health Charity in East London.for 15 years

He originally came to join us for a 3-month period at the request of a Disability Charity, after a year or so of him applying for positions that matched his experience, luckily we are a true employer who believes in Equality and Diversity and not afraid to show it either! During this 3-month period it became apparent that many of his skills were transferable and as Kevin says himself “he likes a challenge” and is still with us, in his spare time, he volunteers with our own Charity the Francis Foundation

Jerry Lee joined us at 12 weeks old and has spent everyday since with the team, visiting the offices and families, his love of cuddles from anyone that will give him one makes him the perfect Funeral Directors Assistant.

Our team of Funeral Operatives have a combined experience of 80 years in the Funeral Profession, they assist in all aspects of client care, and have been with me from the beginning, there professionalism, passion and loyalty to the company have enabled me to develop and expand our service across West Norfolk.
