The Hayley name has been associated with serving bereaved families in Highcliffe, New Milton and the surrounding areas for more than fifty years. Colin Hayley was a Funeral Director in New Milton from the 1950’s until only just before his death in 2014; an extraordinary personal commitment to his local community.
In 1992, Colin Hayley and the Tapper Family joined forces and opened a funeral home in Old Milton Road, and in 1995, a further funeral home was opened in Lymington Road, Highcliffe. Colin's son Julian followed in his father’s footsteps, joining the Company in 1993 and in turn, Julian’s wife Sue soon afterwards.
Since 2022 Jack Stanisstreet and Caroline Rampino joined the team heading up the New Milton Funeral Home with an emphasis on working closely with the local communities.
New Milton is proud to have its very own ceremony hall. A beautiful, relaxed, alternative setting for families who may not want the traditional crematorium venue, where it can sometimes feel like a conveyor belt. Each service is tailored to suit the families wishes, whether that is a more traditional service or a lively celebration of life with a champagne toast. Please do feel free to come and take a look for yourself.
