Just can’t thank this funeral service enough. This is the third funeral I have had with them. They go above and beyond to help make things the best they possibly can. Every person I spoke to was very polite kind and helpful would definitely recommend 100% 

Clare Turner-Neale 14th Mar 2024

Gillotts (Joanne) have been amazing in helping us sort our son’s funeral out, they have advised us on things we never thought we would ever have to think about. Anything we have wanted they have accommodated and have been a great source of comfort throughout the whole process. We can’t thank them enough

Neal Palfreyman 13th Mar 2024

From the first time I contacted Gillotts they were very professional in every detail. The support, care and guidance was very much appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble for Gillotts and Pauline's funeral arrangements were so reassuring on a very sad day for us all.

About Us

Tracing their origin back to 1867, Gillotts Funeral Directors are a funeral director in Eastwood. They are proud to be an independent family business, offering caring and compassionate funeral services to families in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, although they are also happy to conduct funerals further afield if requested.

In 1867, Star Livery Stables on Victoria Street in Eastwood began providing horse-drawn hearses to local undertakers. The business continued to hire vehicles to undertakers throughout a wide area for many decades, until in the 1970's it became a fully fledged funeral service. In the 1980's it moved to its current location on the main road in Eastwood. Over the years, the business has grown to five funeral homes, through a merger with Gillotts Funeral Service - a long-running business in Heanor, and by opening satellite funeral homes in Stapleford, Kimberley and Selston.

As a true family business, the partners of the business are directly involved with its day to day operation of the funeral home. The partners are Barry and Elaine Hutsby, who have grown the Eastwood side of the business since the 1970's when they joined forces with Elaine's Aunt and Uncle, their daughter Joanne, and Anthony Topley, whose father-in-law founded the Heanor funeral home.

Gillotts Funeral Directors, Eastwood has its own fleet of modern and reliable Jaguar hearses and limousines, and can also arrange for bespoke transport such as horse-drawn hearses and motorbike hearses.

Gillotts Funeral Directors, Eastwood is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and on Saturdays from 9am to 12.30pm, with a 24-hour telephone service. Call now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one

    Gillotts were exceptional.  Very considerate, carrying and professional. 

  • 5 Helen Baker 27th Feb 2024

    All the arrangements went smoothly. It's so good not to have to worry about anything on the day.
    The recommendation for the celebrant was spot on. He 'got' us and John so well.

  • 5 Elaine Whitaker 26th Feb 2024

    The funeral was beautifully organised. The staff were very helpful and supportive at every stage and all details and costs were fully explained. I didn't have to worry about anything. The website was very good and it was very helpful to use the music library to choose music for the ceremony.

  • 5 Chelsea Barratt 19th Feb 2024

  • 5 Roy Saxton 7th Feb 2024

    Professional and friendly. Everything was just right.

  • 5 Richard Anthony 7th Feb 2024

    From my first contact with Gillotts right through to Mums final journey the level of service was exceptional.
    I new it would be because Gillotts had dealt with my Dads funeral arrangements 12 years previously.
    I am very grateful for the guidance, empathy and compassion that I received.
    At a time of great sadness I felt supported and I was kept informed throughout.
    Thank you

  • 5 Robert Harris 10th Nov 2023

    Joanne and the team at Gillotts provided an absolutely first class service in a thoughtful, sensitive and professional manner. They thought of everything and took great care to ensure everything went smoothly throughout especially in what were challenging weather conditions on the actual day. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Nicola Ashton 26th Oct 2023

    Amazing service 

  • 5 George Ash 23rd Oct 2023

    All the staff from Gillotts were exceptionally professional in all aspects of arranging my Dads funeral. From talking us through the various packages they offered through to the day of his cremation. They were very accommodating and took great care not to upset family giving us time to consider all our options. The celebrant they chose for us was also exceptionally good and captured the main aspects of Dads life when delivering his eulogy.
    We were all very impressed with the service given and would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Cheryl Rowley 21st Oct 2023

    Everyone was so caring and thoughtful. 

  • 5 Helen Handley 20th Oct 2023

On the day they quietly led and guided us through the service with such dignity and care .Thank you for helping us make our mum's last journey so special

  • 5 Jacqueline Bailey 23rd Sep 2023

    We were so pleased with everything it all went well tank you for everything

  • 5 Lisa Saviour 18th Sep 2023

    I would thoroughly recommend Gillotts Funeral Directors; Claire was very professional but at the same time empathic; helping mum to choose  a keepsake finger print piece of jewellery. Claire was transparent , explaining dad’s unattended cremation, but also offering a favourite tune of dad’s to be played as recognition of the person. 

  • 5 David Cooke 17th Sep 2023

    Joanne, Alan, Claire, Alison and all of the staff at Gillotts were always so professional, compassionate, caring, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thanks to the whole team for your help, advice, and faultless service from arranging Carole's funeral through to the follow up support. Thanks also to Josh (Celebrant) for your truly moving and memorable lead in the celebration of Carole's life. Thanks you, one and all.
