Hessies Funeral Services: Honouring Lives Since 2010

Hessies Funeral Services was founded in 2010 in the vibrant capital city of Kingston, Jamaica, by the visionary Clovis Heslop. With a heartfelt commitment to dignity, compassion, and cultural sensitivity, Mr. Heslop established the funeral service to provide affordable, respectful, and personalised funeral services to grieving families during their most difficult times. What began as a small, family-driven endeavour has since grown into a trusted name in the funeral service industry across the island.

Built on strong values of integrity, professionalism, and community care, Hessies quickly earned a reputation for excellence. The company has remained family-owned and community-focused, combining traditional Jamaican customs with modern service options. From organising intimate memorials to coordinating large celebrations of life, Hessies Funeral Services continues to serve people of all faiths and backgrounds with compassion and care.

Today, Hessies is governed by a dedicated six-member board of directors, including experienced professionals and family members who share a common vision of maintaining the founder’s legacy. Their combined leadership ensures the company continues to evolve, staying up-to-date with industry standards while never losing sight of its original mission—to serve with heart. Whether it’s through grief counselling, pre-planning assistance, or full funeral arrangements, Hessies remains a pillar of comfort and support nationwide.
With over one and a half decades of service, Hessies Funeral Services stands as a testament to Clovis Heslop’s dream, offering hope, healing, and respect.
