About W.S. Harrison Funeral Directors
W.S. Harrison Funeral Directors has served Newcastle families since the 1920s and has occupied St Mark's House on Shields Road, on the Heaton and Byker border, since 1984. Now part of the national Dignity group, it combines a long-standing local presence with the resources of a larger organisation, and its team is available 24 hours a day to bring a loved one into their care whenever the need arises.
The branch has three chapels of rest and arranges full and simple funerals as well as cremations, guiding families through burial or cremation, the order of service, and the associated costs. As with any funeral director, it is worth asking early for a written estimate and discussing options such as a simple funeral if cost is a concern.
