Who we are
We are a compassionate and respectful guide through difficult times of personal loss.
Our Story
Over the years, the name Lyndhurst has been providing caring service at home, in the Caribbean region and at times further afield, and has become synonymous with extending empathy to those experiencing the pain of bereavement. Ours is a rich and fascinating history, dating back over 60 years. Indeed, our lineage stretches even further back to the days of our precursors, Burton and Company and later, Parkinson and Gill, household names in time. We have long represented that symbol of support anchor to families when the inevitable moment arrives.

Mrs. Mezanne Alleyne

Mr. George Griffith
Funeral Director

Mr. Jonathan Ward
Funeral Director
Jonathan’s Lyndhurst chapter began in 2015 in the executive car department as a taxi driver, eventually rising through the ranks to a Funeral Director.
Throughout the years of transporting clients and assisting both Peter and Russell Griffith at various funerals, he was able to gain valuable knowledge from two of Barbados’ most renowned and respected undertakers, who have years of experience within the industry. As a result, Jonathan was then inspired to become a Funeral Director after having seen firsthand the positive impact of helping our clients through one of the most difficult times in their lives. His passion for sending off our client’s loved ones in a dignified manner continues to be his primary objective.
