A Funeral Directors positioned proudly at the heart of the Burton community have continued their support of the town’s football club.
The team at Murray’s Funeral Directors are delighted to have agreed to remain an official sponsor for League One Burton Albion
Murray’s have a long history of supporting the club, and the Burton Albion Community Trust. They were also proudly the first company to hold a funeral service at the club’s Pirelli Stadium back in 2019, with the ground’s facilities still regularly used for wakes.
The stadium is just a stone’s throw away from Murray’s funeral home in York Street.
Murray’s Funeral Directors is part of Funeral Partners, the country’s fastest growing funeral company. Sue Barke, Business Principal, said: “We are so happy to support the club – it is an integral part of Burton.
“The football club, and the youth team, are obviously both hugely important, but the club facilities get used for so many different things.
“They were so crucial during the Covid-19 pandemic when the Pirelli Stadium was used as a testing site, and today it is still used for vaccinations. It is also an important venue in the town for other important community events.
“We are regularly asked to add Albion themed touches to funerals, such as using the club’s famous yellow and black colours or people requesting for their loved ones to be dressed in a suit with a club tie.
“It’s a real point of pride for us to give our clients their exact wishes.”
