Our Heritage
Bell, Lamb and Trotter Funeral Directors have been serving the people of Canterbury since it commenced business in 1872 – only thirty two years after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The company was founded by Mr James Lamb and under the management of several generations of the Lamb family, J Lamb & Son gained its reputation and identity as one of Canterbury’s leading funeral directing companies.
In the mid 1970′s new premises were built in Ferry Road. Shortly after, the company was purchased by Fred and Joy Trotter – another Canterbury family – and was renamed J Lamb, Trotter Funeral Directors Ltd.
