Neville Funerals to support four charities in milestone year

Neville Funerals, alongside its sister companies Neville Special Projects and Neville Joinery, has announced that it is extending its support to four charities through a programme of fundraising and volunteering as part of its 150-year anniversary. 

To mark the milestone, the funeral provider’s Trust has chosen to champion Dementia UK, Schoolreaders, Mind Bedfordshire, and Keech Hospice throughout 2025.  

The Trust will also be marking its 150th anniversary year with a recipe book to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. These recipes have been donated to the group of companies by employees, members of their families, friends and members of the local community.

Vicky Trumper, director at Neville Funerals and fifth-generation family member, said: “Each year we choose a charity for our team to support, but this year we’ve decided to commit to four as part of our milestone anniversary. Charity is a key part of our Trust’s ethos and the organisations we choose to support play a vital role in the care and support of our local community. 

“As we mark our 150th anniversary, we’re not only focusing on four key charities; we’ve also launched our 150 volunteer days scheme where Neville’s employees will all contribute towards 150 days of volunteering throughout the year.” 

She added: We’re focused on our strong community ties and choose to celebrate our journey as a business through our initiatives and charity support.”

Forming part of the Neville Trust Group of Companies, Neville Funerals operates nine branches across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and became a separate business entity in 1985. 

The business was founded in 1875 by brothers Thomas and Edward Neville, who were joiners, builders and undertakers.
