n 1968, due to an increase in business, new premises were required and so Maillards moved to 34 Great Union Road, St. Helier where it is still run from to this day.

Meet Pierpaolo, he’s one of three Masters of Wine here at Waitrose & Partners. He and his team spend their lives searching the planet to find the best wines for our customers. Think of them as your very own sommeliers. Because every single wine we sell has been hand-picked by them.

When a loved one passes away you need make only one call to Maillards Funerals. From that point onwards we will be there to support you and endeavour to take away as much stress as possible regarding the funeral arrangements.

Both Mark and Julian, being true Jerseymen, are proud to say that Maillards, after over 90 years, is now Jersey’s only family owned and fully independent funeral directors.

We are very fortunate to have amongst our team a fully qualified grave digger and celebrant who can conduct nonreligious services. Curwoods Limousines are part of the Maillards group and have stylish Daimler hearse’s and limousines. Available is the elegance of a horse drawn hearse and soon we will be adding to our fleet a new hearse and limousines. We will therefore be able to offer both traditional and modern transport.

We pride ourselves on the exceptional level of care we offer our clients which is achieved through our attention to detail and the desire to serve each and every family with our time, dedication and empathy.

We have our own monumental masonry department and can offer a wide range of new memorials, traditional headstones, vases, kerb sets and plaques which can be supplied in a variety of colours and materials.

At Maillards we are encouraging people to consider what they would like for their own funeral. Taking control of your own wishes while you are able to do so will reduce the stress and worry for those left behind, enabling you to have the send off you want, in the way you want it. This has the added benefit of enabling you to keep control of the costs. We can send you a lasting wishes form or we will be delighted to come to see you to talk you through it. Maillards can now offer you four funeral plans. There are a range of prices and formats and each one details what is available in each plan. There is always the option of a bespoke funeral, tailored to your specific requirements. Maillards are here to give you support and guidance every step of the way.
