We are E.H. Crouch Funeral Directors in Letchworth, and we would be honoured to arrange and conduct a personal and meaningful farewell for your loved one. We were founded in 1958 by a local Letchworth man called Ted Crouch. The values of Ted and his family remain at the heart of all that we do; your loved one and your family are our utmost priority, and we will take care of you with uncompromising compassion, every step of the way. All of our facilities are maintained to the highest standards, such as our beautiful Mercedes fleet, which you are welcome to choose for the funeral procession. We also have a chapel of rest for you to spend time with your loved one before the funeral. We cater for all faiths, cultures and personal preferences. We are local to several churches, as well as Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, North Hertfordshire Memorial Park and Crematorium and many more. Whatever kind of service you feel is most fitting, we will always be able to help you. The wellbeing of people in our community is paramount to us, which is why we host many events such as bereavement groups, coffee mornings, funeral plan awareness days, and much more. Every year on Remembrance Day and Christmas we provide services and memorials to pay tribute to loved ones who have passed away.

Meet our team
At E. H. Crouch we pride ourselves on our kindness, compassion and our professionalism. We are a close and friendly team who have worked together for several years. We look after the families we care for in the same way we would care for our own. Our staff will go out of their way to make sure a funeral service goes above and beyond expectations and provide aftercare to show that we are always there.
With four packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.

The staff at E.H.Crouch were extremely professional with the organisation of the funeral but at the same time showed considerable kindness and understanding towards family members. Nothing was too much trouble and the family was made to feel comfortable as well as being left confident that everything was under control. We cannot rate E.H.Crouch highly enough and would recommend them to others.

I have nothing but admiration for Kate at Crouches. She is the most organised person I have ever met.
Nothing was too much trouble.
I wanted something different and that was exactly what I got.
I now remember that day as a happy day and not a sad one.
I can’t thank her and the team enough.

Clare, Chris and the team have been brilliant supporting me and the family in arranging mum's funeral.
Nothing was rushed or too much trouble, they listened and gave great advice in a very professional and personal fashion.
The team on the day of mums funeral were great, mirroring the service in the run up to the funeral.
They made the day special and support us as a family really well.
Response from E.H. Crouch

Very well organized funeral arrangements. Chris at the Letchworth branch is a credit to the company
with nothing too much trouble for him and he was always very courteous and polite.
I have still to arrange the interment of the ashes with Chris and I am sure he will guide me through this in his very professional and understanding manner. Special thanks to Judi who conducted a wonderful service at the crematorium.
I would highly recommend this branch to all.

The service we received was first class. All our questions were answered swiftly and the attention to detail was excellent. Chris handled everything for us prior to and after the funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and he made a very emotional situation for us (following the loss of our mum) so much easier. On the day of the funeral, Steve made everything go smoothly and allowed us to concentrate on our grieving. Again the service and attention to detail from Steve and his team was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble. it really was appreciated.
I can't praise Crouch's enough, thank you from us all for your service and dedication.
Response from E.H. Crouch

My wife passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning, 10th March 2021. From the time that evening that E H Crouch removed her body to their mortuary to my delivery home after her funeral on 7th April 2021; the staff treated both of us with the utmost respect and dignity.
I would single out our funeral arranger and funeral director in particular,for praise in the way that they did their jobs with quiet dignity and appropriately gentle humour. God bless you all.
Response from E.H. Crouch
Thank you for sharing your views with us on your online review. We know how special each person is and aim to convey this in all aspects of our work from the arrangements to the day of the service. It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference.

The professionalism of the team is clear to see. My link, Chris, guided me through the process, which is difficult in normal times, but even harder at this Covid period. He was calm, thoughtful and effective.
A key example of Crouch's professionalism was the last minute substitute of the funeral director on the day, as he was involved in a car accident. Clare (the business manager) stepped in and I would never have known. Her attention to our needs was excellent.
Response from E.H. Crouch
Thank you for the kind comments posted on your online review. I am glad that we were able to provide you with the dignity and respect needed at this time and that all of the arrangements were carried out to your satisfaction.

We would like to thank E H Crouch for the service they provided for all our family at a very difficult time for us. We all felt that they totally understood our needs all the way through from the time they collected John from our home up to and including his funeral. We felt also that he was treated with the dignity he deserved and we trusted them to look after him the same way during his stay with them.
We would have no hesitation in recommending E H Crouch to anyone we know who found themselves in the same situation

E H Crouch have been nothing but professional, sensitive and helpful during this experience for me and my family.
They have always been at the other end of the phone, answering all our questions, helping with whatever needed doing and just generally being really supportive. Nothing ever seemed too much to ask and on the day of my grandmothers funeral, they made the day go as nice as possible. We truly are grateful.
Response from E.H. Crouch
We are very proud of our team and the care they give and it means the world when we hear from the families that we have looked after. Your family continues to be in our thoughts and we are honoured to have been able to give you the service you needed.
