Douglas Funeral Directors, Ballynahinch

Douglas Funeral Directors is an independent, family-run business. For over 95 years it has provided high quality funeral services to the families of Ballynahinch and the surrounding areas.

The business was established by Hugh Robinson Douglas in 1926. Hugh’s son, Billy began working with his father at age 14 and continued in the business until his retirement.

In 1991, Billy’s nephew, Bill Reid and his wife, Anne purchased Douglas Funeral Directors. With much hard work and dedication, Bill and Anne have continued the family tradition and upheld the business’s excellent reputation which has been established over many years. Their son, Douglas is also now involved in the business, making him the fourth generation of family serving family.

Bill and Anne invested in the construction of a new, purpose-built funeral home in 2013, featuring a welcoming foyer and office area, a spacious funeral church with comfortable seating for up to 150 people and audio/visual recording facility, private rest rooms and ample onsite parking. This shows evidence of the ‘Douglas Commitment’ to the local community.
