Our story so far

We started Full Circle Funerals in 2016 because we believe that planning a funeral is not just something that you “get through” and that, with the right support it can be a powerful and positive experience. We wanted to enable friends and family to take control by offering genuine choices, in a safe and welcoming environment.

People started travelling from further afield to use our services, so we opened more Full Circle services across Yorkshire so that we were located closer to the people who wanted our help.  We now have services in Leeds, Guiseley, Harrogate and Ilkley. Full Circle Funerals won “Funeral Director of the year” and “Green funeral director of the year” in the 2021 National Green Funeral awards and were a certified B Corp from November 2021 to November 2025 (when we decided to affiliate more closely with The Carbon Literacy Project). In February 2026 we became the first in funeral care to achieve Gold Carbon Literate Organisation accreditation due to our commitment to Carbon Literacy and net zero.
