Welcome to M.A. Mills Funeral Services

M.A. Mills has been a trusted family business since 1995. Originally C.D. Allcock Funeral Service, it became M.A. Mills in 2001 under Michele and Anthony Mills. Michele, born into the funeral profession, started her career at 16 and worked 17 years with the Co-operative Funeral Service. Anthony, a former Army serviceman, joined the funeral industry in 1991 and brought years of expertise.

In 2023, Michele and Anthony retired, passing M.A. Mills to LR Bereavement Group, part of the Lymn Rose Family, which owns A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service.

Our mission remains the same: to provide compassionate, professional, family-focused care. Thank you for trusting us during life’s most difficult moments.

What is dying?

I am standing on the seashore, a ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.

She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says: "She is gone."

Gone Where?

Gone from my sight that is all.

She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.

The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when someone at my side says,

"She is gone"

there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:

"There she comes!"

and that is dying.
