Sunderland brothers Craig and Simon Thompson are pooling nearly half a century of expertise to launch their own independent family firm of funeral directors.
Craig Thompson went straight into the trade from school before brother Simon followed in his footsteps a few years later.
The Wearside brothers built their reputations working for one of the city’s leading funeral directors.
And now they feel the time is right to launch their own business, focusing on a grassroots community approach.
The brothers were raised in Washington before returning to their family roots in Grindon where the pair are well known within the local community. They are looking to build on those strong bonds to build their new venture.
