H Biffen

H. Biffen & Sons, known as Biffens, is an independent, family-run funeral director serving Bridgwater and the Somerset community. Established by Harry Biffen in 1920, the business has remained in family hands across generations and is now led by family members Sarah and John. Its approach is built around the promise, “allow our family to care for yours,” with a focus on personal, dignified support for families arranging a funeral.

Biffens provides funeral services tailored to individual wishes, from simple or traditional arrangements to more bespoke farewells. The team can coordinate practical details including coffins, flowers, obituaries and charitable donations, and offers services for children and young adults. Its facilities include a private Chapel of Rest and an office in Bridgwater. The company also arranges direct cremations, including options without a service, and provides help and advice throughout bereavement and funeral planning. For those wishing to plan ahead, Biffens can tailor pre-paid funeral plans through Golden Charter, helping customers fix funeral costs and record their wishes.
