At Wm. Dodgson & Son Funeral Services, we have been helping local families at one of the most difficult times since 1842.
Wm. Dodgson & Son Funeral Services was founded in Leeds in 1842 and has been run by the Dodgson family for five generations.
Our branches in Harehills, Halton, Middleton Park, Moortown and Kippax have experience in serving their communities for over 175 years.
We are proud to have a sign language service available.
The teams at all our funeral homes 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. Our Harehills funeral home has its own service venue on-site.
Here at Wm. Dodgson & Son Funeral Services we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.
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.
Consultant
Wm Dodgson and Son was founded in Leeds in 1842 by Martin J Dodgson’s great-great-grandfather.
Martin J Dodgson has since became a consultant for the Leeds business, taking a more active role in public relations and conducting some funerals.
Martin, the remaining member of the Dodgson family, is supportive of the way the business is being conducted and that the principles and standards that were achieved by the Dodgson family over five generations are still being maintained.
Area Development Manager
Wendy joined Wm Dodgson in 2010 as a Funeral Arranger at Harrogate Road before being promoted to Diary Manager four years later and more recently to Area Development Manager.
She says: “I am proud to work for such an established company with over 175 years of service to the community. We offer the highest quality standards and are regarded as the best funeral directors in Leeds.”
In her spare time, she likes to go walking; going on holidays and socialising with her friends. She has a young son who is a big football fan so they like to see Leeds United at Elland Road.
