Gillotts Funeral
Directors in Selston

We are the local funeral home for Selston, Jacksdale, and Underwood. Our team also supports families in Alfreton, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield. Wherever you live, you are welcome to ring 01773 306909 to ask whether we can help, and we will always give you an honest answer.

Yes, please choose whichever suits you. If Eastwood, Heanor, Kimberley, or Stapleford is closer for your family, we can make the arrangements there instead. Your loved one can then rest at that funeral home. Our teams work as one, so nothing about the care you receive will change.

Yes. For immediate assistance, you can call our funeral directors day or night on 01773 306909, including weekends and bank holidays. Our Selston funeral home keeps shorter hours, opening Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4.30 pm, so if you would like to call in, please come during the week.

Danni Allen, our Funeral Director, looks after families at our Selston funeral home. Danni holds the Diploma in Funeral Directing. This is a qualification certified by the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD). Danni works closely with Zowie Hart, our Funeral Arranger and Administrator. Between them, they will support you from your very first call.

Our Selston funeral home is at 133 Nottingham Road, Selston, Nottingham, NG16 6BT, close to the Co-op Food. There is a car park on site for visitors.

We are ready to help the moment you call, whatever the hour. If your loved one has passed away at home, the first step is to let their doctor know (or NHS 111 outside surgery hours) so that the death can be confirmed. If it was sudden or unexpected, please call 999 instead. After that, take all the time you need. When you ring us on 01773 306909, we will give you an arrival time, and our team will look after your loved one from that moment on. Our guide to what to do when someone dies walks you through the days that follow.

Yes, we can visit you at your home if you prefer to discuss funeral arrangements at home. Whether you would like to meet at home, at our Selston funeral home, or over the phone or via a video call, we will fit around your family.

Yes. If you would also like to spend time with your loved one before the funeral, we can arrange a private visit to our chapel of rest by appointment. You can read more about visiting your loved one.

Yes. Faith, culture, and personal beliefs shape so many funerals, and we take care to understand yours. We can work with your own minister or faith leader, or arrange a celebrant for a non-religious service or celebration of life. Please share any traditions that are important to your family, and we will do our very best to honour them.

Yes. If you would like a simple, low-cost farewell, a direct cremation which is a cremation which takes place without a service or mourners we can arrange this for you. Your loved one is cared for locally and the cremation takes place at Amber Valley Crematorium in Swanwick. The ashes can be scattered in the Garden of Remembrance or returned to you. If you wish, you can then mark your loved one’s life however and whenever it feels right, perhaps with a memorial or family gathering. You can read about our two direct cremation options, or ask us about the costs.

Yes. Planning your funeral ahead of time lets you choose the details yourself. It also spares your family some difficult decisions later. Our plans are provided by Ecclesiastical Planning Services. Funeral plans like ours are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our local team will carry out the funeral when it is needed. Call in to see us in Selston, ring 01773 306909, or read about our prepaid funeral plans.

We can only speak for ourselves, but we can tell you what matters to us. In Selston, you will be looked after by a small team who get to know your family personally, backed by more than 150 years of Gillotts experience. Through joining the A.W. Lymn Group in 2026, a highly regarded family-run funeral service in the East Midlands, Gillotts now provides families across Kimberley and surrounding communities with a wider selection of services and attentive, compassionate care.

And as members of the National Association of Funeral Directors, we are assessed against its standards of care. We will never hurry you into a decision, and your loved one will be treated with dignity and respect at every step.
