My name is Jo Nicholls and I own Three Shires Independent Funeral Services based in Congleton Cheshire.
I live in Sandbach with my husband Adrian and two children Freya and Lottie. In my spare time, I love to tend horses and connect with nature.
My father died when I was just 10 years old and my mother followed when I was only 29. Through seeing their funeral services first-hand, I felt there was something missing. It made me think I wanted to do it differently, do it better. That was in 2004 and it made me determined that I could and should look to do this as my career path.
A friend’s father was a funeral director and I asked him for help. He gave me some work experience which I then used to acquire a job with the Co-op Funeral Services and later moved on to Dignity Plc.
I felt that in these roles I was not given the opportunity to spend enough time with the families of the deceased to make a positive difference in an exceedingly difficult situation.
So, in 2018 I set up Three Shires Independent Funeral Services and have taken pride in giving people the send-off they deserve, whilst offering their families the facilities, service, and value they need.
Some of my clients have said:
“Nothing is too much trouble for Jo.”
“Very professional and supportive service.”
“We really appreciated your flexibility and help.”
“Compassionate and Caring value from start to finish.”
“Very kind and caring, a great help throughout the whole process.”
“Thank you, Jo, for meeting our every need in such a personal caring manner.”
Since starting my own business, I have served the people of Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire with peace of mind for a dignified, respectful funeral for their loved ones.
The present climate has led me to extend my offerings of a value for money, caring service to also cover family connections through working with Live Your Legacy Ltd. This enables family members a full understanding of their relatives’ wishes and thereby helps reduce the emotional turmoil of decision-making at an extremely sensitive time.
It is always an honour to provide the most attentive and dignified service to families who come to me about their loved ones.
