Funeral Partners appoints new manager in Northern Ireland

Funeral Partners has announced the appointment of Barbara Wilson as its first ever funeral manager in Northern Ireland. 

Wilson, who is already established in Holywood, will initially be working across the three John Gray and Co funeral homes in Holywood, Bangor and Newtownards. 

She will be responsible for helping run and manage the branches, as well as assist with local community initiatives and ensure that each of the homes meets the needs of families. 

Wilson has worked for Funeral Partners for three and a half years as a funeral arranger, having previously worked in sales. 

Wilson said: “It’s a brand new role for the team and management structure in Northern Ireland, so I am excited to put my own mark and personality into it and get involved supporting families in the wider North Down community.

“I will make sure that I still spend a good amount of time in Holywood and continue to maintain the important and brilliant relationships with local businesses, local clergy and the funeral home team that I have built up over the years, so everyone knows where we are in their time of need.”
