Our Heritage & Legacy

A. H. Cheater, a family-run funeral director serving Romsey & North Baddesley for over three generations since 1966.

Our History

Where it started

A. H. Cheater traces its roots back more than a century in Hampshire, founded on the simple but profound belief that every life deserves a gentle and dignified farewell. Over time, our name has become a trusted fixture in Romsey, North Baddesley and the wider Hampshire community, known for our unwavering commitment to community and compassionate care.

Our History

Since 1966, the Peace family has guided the company. Under their stewardship, A.H.Cheater has grown steadily but always remained true to its founding values: honesty, transparency, and integrity. Today, the third generation of the Peace family continues to lead, bringing both tradition and thoughtful innovation to our services.

Our History

Through the decades, we have modernised, building purpose-built chapels, offering private spaces for reflection, and enhancing our facilities so that families can grieve in peace and comfort. Yet our core philosophy remains unchanged: to serve each family as if they were our own.

Looking forward, we are committed to evolving in a way that honours our roots. We are embracing more sustainable and personalised funeral options, digital memorials, and deeper bereavement support all while preserving the warmth and professionalism that have defined us for generations.
