Our People

The team at [bloginfo key=’name’] keep your best interests at the heart of everything they do.
We treat others as we would expect to be treated ourselves – with respect and compassion. We act attentively and professionally, taking all the time that’s needed to listen and understand individual funeral wishes.

Our experienced funeral directors and arrangers will guide you through the funeral process with empathy – working hard in the background before, during and after the funeral to create a positive memory for the life being celebrated. Our presence is discreet at all times, quietly ensuring everything progresses smoothly.

Robin Taylor-Jones

Funeral Director – North Kensington

Robin joined John Nodes in May 2001 after a long career in the travel industry. After many talks with an assistant priest at his parish church he joined the team. He describes it as the best career change he ever made. He said after having great personal contact with the public over the years this seemed a natural progression.

Robin offers a sympathetic approach to his clients’ needs: listening; advising; and with them, creating a funeral that suits all their needs.

He lives above the Ladbroke Grove branch, so is well-known in the area, and is proud to say that many families recommend John Nodes and use them many times to arrange other funerals of their loved ones.

Hayley Mullins

Funeral Arranger – North Kensington (Ladbroke Grove)

Hayley joined John Nodes in July 2014 and her family have worked for John Nodes for at least two generations. When the opportunity presented itself to work for the branch she was more than happy to make it her career choice.

Hayley is an excellent listener, warm and welcoming and committed to each individual family that requires her assistance. Living locally enables Hayley to have a better understanding of the community she serves.

Her work involves liaising closely with different clergy and community groups within a very diverse community, which allows her to have a wide and varied knowledge of different cultural and religious needs. In her down time, Hayley enjoys socialising with friends and family.
