anny has been funeral directing for twenty nine years. He is the third generation of his family to be in the profession. Having gained experience in a large city funeral directors, he followed his early desire to be an independent family funeral director by the sea and opened a funeral home in Lee-on-the-Solent in 1998. Dedication, care and attention to detail have seen the service become a highly regarded funeral director in the area. In 1999 Danny opened a second shop in Stoke Road, Gosport. As the two businesses grew he was joined by his wife Chris in 2003. Chris has 13 years experience working in funerals.
In May of 2008, to accommodate their growing business, Danny and Chris moved across the High Street from number 81 to number 82-84. This afforded them the opportunity to take up residence above the premises, thus allowing them more time to devote to helping bereaved families.
Danny is one of the founder members of Crofton Lions and enjoys his involvement with their many charitable events, his favorite being Father Christmas on the Santa Sleigh.
