Our company has been involved in the funeral profession for over 100 years, providing an infrastructure of support for the local community. Expansion to the funeral directing business in the year 2000 with the acquisition of DAVID BROOK Funeral Services allowed the company to use the experience gained over many years to provide a personal, professional & caring service. The original trading name of Emmott & Bradley was reintroduced, and in 2013 the chapel of rest was moved to Station Road Cross Hills, to make our services more accessible to clients. In June 2010 the company bought WHITLOCK & CRAVEN Funeral Directors of Silsden. The business was incorporated into Jacksons Funeral Services and a new, purpose designed premises was opened in Bolton Road, Silsden.
