Adrian Amis, the owner of Cromer and District Independent Funeral Services, has successfully acquired Gowards Funeral Independent Services located in Fakenham. This transition marks a significant milestone for the Fakenham funeral service, which has been a vital part of the community since its establishment by Claude Goward in 1966, spanning an impressive 58 years.
Under Mr. Amis’s stewardship, Gowards will continue to provide compassionate, independent funeral care to families in Norfolk. Notably, Paul Cook, a seasoned funeral director with over 40 years of experience in the industry, will remain actively involved at the Fakenham location, ensuring a smooth continuation of services for the community.
Mr. Amis expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “I am honoured and excited to be taking over Gowards Funeral Services. It is a business with a deeply respected history and an incredible dedication to the families it serves.” He emphasized his commitment to maintaining the independent ethos and the high standards of care that have been established by Heather, Paul, and the Goward family.
This change in ownership is not just a business transaction; it’s a commitment to preserving the legacy of excellent service and compassion that Gowards has provided over the decades. Mr. Amis and his team are dedicated to ensuring that they continue to serve the community with dignity and compassion, bringing hope and support to families during difficult times.
