Caring for Morley and Leeds families since 1870

Family-run since 1870, we’re one of the last independent funeral directors left in Morley. Six generations of the same family have looked after families across Morley, Churwell, Drighlington, Tingley, East Ardsley and the wider Leeds area and we still work the same way now. We take the time to get things right rather than rushing you through a process. Whatever kind of funeral you need, traditional or simple, religious or not, we’re here to help you arrange it properly.

When someone has died

If a death has just happened, please call us. There is no form to fill in and no obligation. We will talk you through the next steps calmly, explain what needs to happen and when, and if you’d like, come and see you at home.

OUR SERVICES

A funeral, arranged the way your family needs it

From a full traditional service to a simple direct cremation, every arrangement is handled personally by the Binks family.

Burial

A traditional burial service, arranged with care at any local cemetery or churchyard.

Cremation

A full cremation service with a chapel or graveside ceremony, tailored to your family.

Direct cremation

A simple, unattended cremation, with no ceremony, often the most affordable option.

Pre-Paid Funerals

Plan and pay for your funeral in advance with a Golden Charter pre-paid plan.

WHY JW BINKS

The only local funeral directors with our own chapel, function room and vehicles

We’re the only funeral directors in Morley to have our own chapel and function room, so there’s no need to hire a room elsewhere for the service or the wake afterwards. Our hearses and limousines are ours too, kept and maintained in-house rather than brought in for the day.”

Private service chapel at JW Binks Funeral Directors, set out with rows of chairs

Private service chapel

A calm, private space on our own premises for the service itself, with no need to hire a room elsewhere. It means no shared schedule and no rushing, just time for your family to say goodbye properly.

Function room at JW Binks laid out with tables and chairs for a wake

Function room

Situated in our Park House building, our function room gives your family and friends somewhere to gather afterwards for tea and sandwiches, without having to book a pub or village hall separately. It keeps the whole day in one place.

J W Binks hearse and Limousine at Park House

Our own Mercedes fleet

Every hearse and limousine we use is owned and maintained by us. It means a consistent, well-kept fleet your family can rely on, rather than wondering what will turn up on the day.

Mum passed recently at the ripe old age of 96 and we chose (wisely as it turned out) to use J W Binks & sons to take care of the funeral . Alex Binks was the consummate professional from start to finish , we were treated with sympathy and care throughout the whole process from start to finish. I would recommend this company to anyone, without any shadow of doubt. Thank you to all at J W Binks for making a difficult process as comfortable and reassuring as it possibly could be.David Griffithsread more

Arrived at the scene only an hour after being called, despite it being out of hours and a weekend. Efficient service, and good communication throughout. The service and transport both went without a hitch and the price initially quoted was the price we paid with no hidden extras. As much as I hope I won't need their services, I wouldn't hesitate to use this family business again should the need arise.read more

My dad passed away at home on July 11th 2022, we choose JW BINKS directors to look after my dad and give him the send off that he would of liked, he was not a religious man and JW BINKS ,Alex took this into account by offering a service of remembering my dad and his life. i was always aloud to take my time in making the funeral arrangement and never felt uneasy with Alex who went up and beyond his job by returning my dads ring in a little gift box, the little things mean so much, no wonder this business is celebrating 150 years.Alex you defiantly didnt miss your vocation in lifeThankyou all for your patience understanding and respectfulness with organising my dads funeral.Hope you all love the cupcakes made specially for you all.read more

Fantastic service from the first phone call. They just took care of everything, took the time to take us through all the options, got everything organised the way we wanted it and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. I think the most important thing of all is that we all felt that they took really good care of my Grandad and treated him with dignity. On the day itself the professionalism of the people involved was outstanding and they did everything they could to make the service run flawlessly. In such a difficult time it was such a relief to have someone reliable organising things and they defiantly took a lot of stress out of the process. Things like this are never nice, but I couldn't recommend JW Binks highly enough. We would especially like to thank Ann who when above and beyond in organising everything and on the day.read more

We recently used Alex Binks for my dear mum's funeral. I flew in from New Zealand to assist my brother and father with the arrangements. Alex was nothing short of professional and efficient whilst having a great (at times funny) manner with us..that was only used as and when appropriate - this helped all of us during a very emotional time. We are not religious so chose a civil service which we were able to create the script for...Alex guided us all the way but allowed us the freedom to do as Mum would have liked. The service went smoothly...Alex nearby to step in if we were unable to read our parts. Alex also recommended a fantastic caring caterer Mandy and staff who went above and beyond (as the numbers far exceeded our expectations, returning to our family home for the wake!!) But she remained calm and catered for all with delish food..and cleaned up!! A lovely lady. So what was a very emotional day for me and my family...it was lighted by using Binks - professional and empathetic funeral directors.I rate 5 stars plus 😊read more

After the death of my Grandad my Mum chose JW Binks to take care of all of the arrangements. The staff were professional at all times and nothing was too much trouble. We struggled on a lot of the things that we wanted to say had happened in his life, but Alex was there to help guide us and make suggestions. Could not have been a greater Funeral Directors to have worked with. I would certainly highly recommend.read more
