Ivan Fisher

Ivan was born and raised in the village of Horsham St. Faith, near Norwich. Upon completion of his exams he considered a career in agriculture like his grandparents but following a short spell on the farm, felt it was not for him.

It was then that a trainee’s position became available at a Norwich funeral home. Beginning in the company’s workshops, his first two years were spent gaining an insight into the funeral business, after which time he studied for the Funeral Director’s Diploma and successfully passed.

The remainder of his time was spent as a funeral director arranging and conducting many, many funerals. For much of his time there he was very happy. However, late in 2003 the business changed ownership and he became very unsettled.

Working for the new company made him realise that having his own business where he had the freedom to make his own decisions day to day and also remain working personally with the clients would give him much greater satisfaction and so in 2005, Ivan Fisher Funeral Home opened its doors in Hethersett. With tremendous support from the local community, the business was a success and continued to grow eventually with an office in Aylsham opening in 2009 and finally an office in Hingham in 2015. After 20 years of arranging and conducting funerals, Ivan is as committed and passionate about his job and role within the community as he ever was.

Nowadays, in his spare time, one of Ivan’s hobbies (and other passions) include driving a 1965 London Routemaster bus for various weddings and social events in the area and when he’s not at work or driving a bus, he’ll often be out walking his Irish Wolfhound, Louis.
