The Good Funeral Awards Story

It’s remarkable that an industry whose default mode is empathy and professionalism towards its clients has traditionally given so little recognition to those in the profession who are leading the way and setting the best example with the things they do for their customers. But over the course of the last decade this has begun to change with the introduction of the Good Funeral Awards. The awards have grown from an initial gathering of five people to become a yearly event with over 200 invited guests. And the awards themselves have become known as ‘the Oscars of the funeral trade’.

The awards have many categories from ‘most promising new funeral director’ to ‘best crematorium’ and ‘excellent coffin manufacturer’, and every year they produce a large number of nominees from across the nation. A big part of what makes them special is the fact that they are open to everyone irrespective of their company’s size or length of time in the funeral industry.

2019 was the first year that the awards have been organised by the Association of Green Funeral Directors and the organisers would like to heartily thank the Funeral Service Journal for their advice and support along with the joint main sponsors Greenfield Creations and Ecoffins.

AGFD Good Funeral Awards 2020

The date for the 2020 AGFD Good Funeral Awards has been set as 26th September 2020 at The Crazy Bear Hotel in Stadhampton Oxfordshire. The Crazy Bear is a tranquil oasis set in the Oxfordshire countryside boasting a unique but quirky style. There will be a large indoor and outdoor exhibition space during the day for funeral exhibitors to showcase their products, information and vehicles and an opportunity to network. The awards ceremony will be held in the stunning glass room where guests will be greeted with a glass of prosecco followed by a three course meal with entertainment, guest speakers and a disco. Due to the amazing success of the 2019 awards, 2020 will be bigger and grander.
