About Firmager Funeral Service
Founded in 2000 by experienced and well know funeral directors Bert Firmager and Michael Owen, Firmager Funeral Service quickly became established due to their professionalism and strong local and community links. When Bert and Michael passed away, Michael’s wife Wendy took over in 2009.
The team at our New Romney funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one.
Here at Firmager Funeral Service we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.
If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
