Our thoughts are with you during these quieter moments of the season. You are not alone, and your loved ones are always remembered.

🎩 At every funeral, we lead the hearse by walking in front, a tradition we’ve honoured since 1854.

🌹 Even for our direct funerals, the hearse is always used, because dignity never gets simplified.

🎩 Why do you bow to the hearse?

Bowing and paging (walking in front of the hearse) are ways we mark respect to the person in our care.

Since 1854 every person we have carried out a funeral for has been led away from our office by a funeral conductor who walks in front of the hearse. (Not all the way, thankfully. But back in the day when cemeteries were closer than the distances we go now we did!)

The conductor pages out from our office, then to and from the place of service or the family home and again at the place we lay them to rest, such as a cemetery or crematorium.

Then finally one last time we bow as the coffin is placed on the catafalque or in to the grave.

It is said one of the most defining differences between us and animals and what makes us human in our nature is that we bury those of us who pass away.

Harry Noble is the current managing director of H Noble Funeral Directors and the Chief Executive of the H Noble Group. Harry has worked at the business since he was 18 working his way up from a funeral service operative to his role today.

Harry took over from his grandmother Lynne when covid hit and the risk to Lynne’s health given her pre-existing health concerns was deemed a danger given the close proximity we were working with those infected or who had sadly lost their lives to the virus.

Harry is committed to continuing the business and developing practice to incorporate our deep rooted traditions and modern practice.

Lynne Noble married Andrew Noble and began working for the business after giving birth to her son Ian, she mainly did admin at first but over the years took part in all aspects of the business.

Lynne took over the helm following her husbands passing in 2011, helping to arrange and carry out her husbands funeral as well as the other funerals we had on at the time.

Lynne ran the company from 2011 until 2020 when Covid hit and the risk of coming to work was a danger considering her pre-existing health conditions, she passed the responsibility on to her grandson Harry Noble, Lynne managed admin from home and eventually stepped down in 2022. Lynne is now retired spending her time on the golf course and with her grandchildren.

Andrew Noble ran the business once his father retired until his passing following a diagnosis of cancer in 2011.

Andrew was incredibly passionate about the business and local community. He was heavily involved in charity work and local causes. He advanced the business in to the technological age moving from type writers and hand written estimates to printed documents and brochures for clients. He was an incredibly talented funeral director with an eye for the profession that excelled the business in to a bespoke funeral service it is today.
Allot of his ideas and traditions are dictate how we operate today along with long standing traditions from the past and modern practice to give our clients the best we can offer.

Andrew affectionately known to most as Andy was well known within the Broadstairs and St Peter’s area and is dearly missed by all at H Noble. He may be gone but certainly will not be forgotten.

Alan Noble worked as early as his teens at the firm before the outbreak of World War Two when he was enlisted in the RAF driving trucks in Africa.
His father Harry served in the home guard in St Peter’s and ran the funeral directors.

Upon Alan’s return he took over running the company completely following his father’s passing in the 1970s.

Alan once again modernised the funeral directors to reflect the post war age.

Cllr. Harry Noble Jnr

Harry Noble Jnr. took over the business following his father’s passing with the help of his mother and wife. Situated at 1 Northdown Road and continuing the construction side of the company until his later years when this was stopped and the company focused solely on funerals.

With the outbreak of the First World War Harry was enlisted to the Royal Naval Air Service as a mechanic posted in Belgium while his wife and son ran the company in his absence. During this time we helped to fit black outs in the windows of homes to stop the German bombers being able to navigate at night.
We also carried out a lot of repair and cleaning work to buildings that were damaged in the air raids.

Upon Harry’s return from the war he ran as Mayor of St Peter’s as well as church warden for St Peter’s Church, he donated his time and money to the church over his life time, including two chalices to the church and in return on his death the church dedicated a pew to his memory.

Harry lived at No1 Northdown Road until his death in the 1970s, he had made his own coffin ready many years before from solid oak. His son Alan Noble took over the company on his passing.

Harry Noble

Harry Noble Snr. took over the company following his father’s passing continuing the successful building and undertaking business his father had established in 1854.
Harry faced the first real changes for the funeral industry as it moved from old fashioned Undertaking to the first steps of modern Funeral Directing. The death and state funeral of Queen Victoria showed the world that a funeral didn’t have to be dictated to by the undertaker, it could be a display of not only affection for those who passed but also a display of wealth with personalisation at the forefront.
It was under Harry that the first motor hearse was purchased for the company, this was the second motor car in the village of St. Peters. There was also the development of a dedicated workshop for making coffins built behind the office site separate to the builder’s yard.
Harry left for London in his later years on his own and little is known about what he did while in the city, telegrams to a hotel and various hospitals in London show his wife and son trying to reach him and the only response they received according to our records is a telegram from the police to notify them he had passed away and would be returning to Broadstairs via train in the coming days.
Despite his absence in his later life Harrys funeral was reportedly well attended and he was buried in the Churchyard following a service in St. Peters Church.

Henry William Thomas Andrew Noble 1854 (Founder)
In 1854 aged just 24 years Henry Noble moved from Canterbury after leaving his grandfather’s firm ‘W. R. Noble & Sons Furniture Makers and Undertakers’ to start his own company in Broadstairs- Where the family already had roots and connections prior to the brief move to Canterbury.
Settling in the seaside town of Ramsgate with his wife Elizabeth Henry opened up shop in St. Peters after buying farmland and a builders yard next to land his father owned from ‘Strevens Brothers Undertakers’ of Broadstairs. Some of the site he purchased we still occupy to this day as residential property and the Funeral Directors office and Garages.
The builders yard stretched from 1 Northdown Road up to the undertakers located at 103 Church Street at the other end, where we remained until his son Harry moved the company into the building we still use today at 1 Northdown Road.
Henry and his wife eventually moved to St. Peters once their cottage had been built on the site of the builders yard and the family have lived in the village ever since, many manholes and buildings built by the family in St Peters still have ‘H. Noble’ inscribed on them from building works carried out over 100 years.
1854- Notable Events: The reigning monarch was Queen Victoria, Louis Vuitton is Founded, Oscar Wilde is Born.

Great time this evening showing off our Classic Daimler DS420 at the RAF Manston Car Show.

It was such a nice opportunity for people to take a look at the Hearse and how it works as well as creating a chance for people to ask questions that usually they’re too nervous to ask.

The number one question today was “is this a working vehicle?” The answer YES😄! Our Daimler is available for use at no extra cost and is out working most days along side our Jaguar fleet serving the people of Thanet providing a send off in style😎!

As we remember those who lost their lives and served during the D-Day operation it’s also a moment to reflect on thosewho partook in all aspects of the war effort.

This is Alan Noble who served in the RAF during World War II, he was lucky enough to make it home but so many were not and it’s to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their nation we remember the tragic loss of war and respect their courage.

The D Day operations are credited as a significant shift in the outcome of the war and to all those that served and never came home we honour their sacrifice, they gave their tomorrow for our today. Lest we forget.

Harry was invited to visit St Peter’s Church to see the church bells and even have a go too.

H. Noble Funeral Directors Ltd has a long standing history with St Peter’s Church and we are always interested to learn more about the church and its history.

Many members of the family have had some part to play in the history of the church, Harry Noble Snr was the church warden during the Second World War, his father was in the choir and his grandfather helped with taking over grave digging and mapping of the cemetery a few short years after establishing H Noble Funeral Directors (back when the cemetery was half the size!)

We also hold the historical records and receipts for the Cemetery and Garden of Remembrance on behalf of the church.

Over 2023 through funeral donations an amazing £26,034.73 was raised in online donations and a further £19,050.22 in cheques, cash envelopes and change buckets for a range of charities.

At a time of loss, the act of charity and kindness to choose donations to particular good causes both locally and nationally means the work of truly great causes can continue to support those that need their help.

Such an interesting day with @simonboswell.composer as he purchased 5 coffins from us for his upcoming event in Ramsgate.

When Simon called us he had already been turned away by other firms in his efforts to secure some coffins, but we had no hesitation, especially with such an interesting local musical event.

The end of an era, truly a shock to the nation, our leading lady has done her duty. As the funeral arrangements come out we will be watching with great interest at how the country plans to say goodbye.

“…My whole life, wether it be long or short, will be devoted to your service…”
A promise made and a promise kept. God rest her soul, God save the King.

🎩On our Direct Funerals we always use a hearse instead of a van or private ambulance at no extra cost. We arrive to the final resting place of those we care for with pride and respect. #funeral #broadstairs #thanet #familybusinesses #funeralhome #margate #crematorium #ramsgate #hearse #mortuary

🐴 It’s always nice to have the horse drawn hearse out in #broadstairs our home for 168 years and counting. It’s amazing to think all those years ago horses would have been paged away from our office, a tradition we still practice today even with our modern hearse. #funeral #funeraldirector #thanet #familybusiness #funeralhome
