About Thorne Leggett Funeral Directors
Thorne Leggett Funeral Directors has been providing services within the local area for over 30 years.
In 1991, two experienced Funeral Directors saw a need for a new Funeral Director practice to serve the local area of Surrey and Hampshire. Geoffrey Thorne was working with his father at Kemp & Stevens in Alton, while David Leggett had been a funeral director in Farnham for many years.
The partnership of Thorne-Leggett was established and their first office opened soon after in Whitehill with much success. David and Geoff were determined to build their business on their principles of total professionalism and always making the client their absolute priority. David retired in 2009, and Geoffrey opened the second office in Farnham in 2012.
Here at Thorne Leggett Funeral Directors we offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This could protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.
If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
