Our Farnborough office was opened in 1998 and our third office under the Ford Mears & Partner name. We are still in the same property to date, at 242 Farnborough Road in the heart of Farnborough. Like Aldershot over the years John and especially Tony have had a long-standing affiliation to the local community and the area.

PAUL ROWAN
Funeral Director
Paul’s first ever job, working as a Lifeguard, involved him protecting the public and on occasion he even saved lives. Later, as a Police Officer, he was often first on the scene at the event of a death and faced with the hard task of notifying loved ones.
Paul left the Hampshire Constabulary around 2005 and since then he’s put his training and the skills he learned throughout his career into delivering a professional, compassionate and friendly service, aimed towards helping people in their time of need by making the funeral arrangement process as easy as possible.
