In 1904, after moving from Ballybay, Co. Monaghan, to Belfast, James Brown set up his own business, starting with just a horse and harness which he hired out to a local coal merchant to help with the coal deliveries. Realising the business opportunities of the day and the potential for development, he quickly progressed from hiring his horse to owning a horse-drawn lorry, which he also used for coal deliveries.
It was not long before he expanded the business into furniture removals and by that stage the name James Brown was well known in East Belfast as a well established, reliable local business. In 1932 the business arranged its first funeral.

Cremations
Report
Cremations are a less popular form of funeral in Northern Ireland as there is only one Crematorium in the country. Most people will want a ceremony at the crematorium - using their onsite service room - but you can also hold the service in a church, funeral home service room or other venue of your choice prior or after the cremation.
