Henry Ison & Sons Funeral Directors was established more than 100 years ago to serve families in Coventry and Warwickshire. Our founder, Henry Ison, started his working life as a wheelwright before moving into the funeral business at the turn of the 20th century.
Today we’re still based on Binley Road in Coventry where Henry first started. We opened a second funeral home on Allesley Old Road in Chapelfields and now have local funeral homes in Daventry Road, Kenilworth and Leamington Spa to support communities throughout Warwickshire.
The teams at our Coventry, Kenilworth, Bulkington and Leamington Spa funeral homes will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. We have our own on-site service venue.
Here at Henry Ison & Sons Funeral Directors we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.
If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
