Perspective

The business was created in 1994 through the merger of Plantsbrook Group and Great Southern Group,[1] both of which companies had been acquired by Service Corporation International Inc earlier that year.[2] In 2002 the merged business was the subject of a management buyout from Service Corporation International Inc.[3] The merger brought together a number of funeral service businesses.[1]

There are currently 795 Dignity Funeral Directors across the UK. Several mergers and organic growth have brought together a number of historic funeral businesses, private cemeteries and crematoria over the years, including:

In January 2023, the board agreed to accept an offer for the company from a consortium of investors including SPWOne V Ltd, Castelnau Group and Phoenix Asset Management.[4]
