E Turnbull & Son
One of the North East's oldest independent funeral directors, established in 1790 and family-run, on Albion Road in North Shields.
About E Turnbull & Son
E Turnbull & Son is an independent, family funeral director on Albion Road in North Shields, and one of the oldest in the region — established in 1790 and run by the same family through many generations. It serves North Shields, Tynemouth, Cullercoats, Whitley Bay, Wallsend and Newcastle, combining long experience with the personal care of a family business.
The firm arranges traditional funerals, cremations, and cemetery and woodland burials, as well as direct cremations and pre-paid funeral plans. Families are guided through the arrangements at their own pace, and, as with any funeral director, it is fine to contact more than one and ask for a written estimate.
