Previously H. J. Dawson Funeral Directors, we have recently joined with W. G. Rathbone funeral homes to create Rathbone Funeral Directors and continue serving local families of Warwickshire.
Our funeral home is situated on George Street and is one of the oldest of its kind in Leamington Spa. Inside, you can find our team of professionals who you can trust to arrange a personal and dignified funeral serviced for your loved one. There is also a dedicated wash and dress facility and an Asian Chapel of Rest should you need it
To arrange a funeral for your loved one, please call our funeral home on 01926427464 today.
Meet our team
It is the duty of our knowledgeable team to make certain that all the details asked by you and your family are fulfilled, so you can plan an honourable funeral service which is personal and unique to your loved one.
As we support you during this difficult time, please know that we are always here for you when you need us. We are simply a phone call away
With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.
If you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary funeral with a service, you should consider our Attended Funeral. If you want us to arrange a simple cremation without mourners present, our Unattended Funeral may better suit your needs.
The Attended Funeral provides a tailored and dignified goodbye for your loved one. Whether traditional or contemporary, you can pay your respects in the supportive company of family and friends.

I felt the service was excellent from the moment we first contacted Dawson's. Alicia is a credit to your company she made us all feel at ease and made the whole process of arranging my father's funeral as painless as was possible. She was always available to answer any questions we had and always took time to help when needed. The funeral service was attended by Martin and his team and again the service was impeccable. We could not have asked for more. Thank you all.
Response from Rathbone
We are grateful of you using our services to provide something special for your loved one. Your comments will provide great encouragement to the team to keep doing their job to the best of their ability.

I was extremely pleased with the service given by Alicia and Louise - my sister's funeral was both dignified and personal and just what she would have wanted - thanks to all involved - I would have no hesitation in recommending H. J. Dawson.
Response from Rathbone
Thank you for your lovely review. I am pleased that our team looked after you so well. Your feedback is valued.
Mr Andrew K.

Alex and Alicia were attentive throughout the process and answered all our questions. Moria the celebrant spent about two and a half hours at the house learning about Dad and compiled a very good speech. The Crematorium organised a web cam for relatives that could not make it and played a recording my brother made over the loud speakers
Response from Rathbone
We always appreciate receiving comments from our families, and we are constantly making improvements to enable us to provide the highest level of guidance and support, our quality of care is something we are proud of and we know what a difference it makes to the families in their time of need. Thank you for this recommendation.

Alicia was kind considerate professional and seemed to have all the time in the world, although I’m sure she was quite busy. The funeral director and drivers were calm organised and thoughtful.
I am very happy with Dawson’s and would happily recommend them to anyone who is in need of their services.
Response from Rathbone
Thank you for your positive recommendation, it is greatly appreciated. It is comforting to know that the team were there to support you through this time and relieve some of the pressure through guidance and support.

Alicia was so kind and supportive during the saddest of times . Nothing was too much trouble and everything explained really clearly which is so helpful during those difficult early days and weeks. Karen was so calm and clear on the day - the perfect balance of taking control (which we needed) and being sensitive to our needs and emotions. We could not have asked for more. Thank you.
Response from Rathbone
It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference. Your family continues to be in our thoughts and we are honoured to have been able to give you the service you needed.

Extremely happy with service.
Was treated with respect, sympathy, empathy and dignity.
Felt I was being listened to, and that the wishes were met - nothing was too much trouble.
This goes for all aspects, from collecting my Mum, arranging the funeral, day of the funeral and beyond.
Thank you all so much for helping everything go smoothly.

At a time of great pain and sorrow HJ Dawson and particularly Alicia helped us enormously.
They removed all the worry and stress from the process and could not have been more caring or helpful.
Every detail was perfect and done with a very personal touch. Thank you
