Supporting Sport and Community at the Heart of Gloucestershire
Sheppards Funeral Directors is proud to announce our sponsorship of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, a team with deep roots in the region and a long-standing tradition of excellence in English cricket.
As a family-run business serving communities across Gloucestershire and beyond, we believe in supporting local teams and organisations that bring people together. Our sponsorship reflects our commitment to the people, passions, and places we serve.

A Historic Club with a Bright Future
Founded in 1870, Gloucestershire County Cricket Club is one of the 18 major county clubs within the English domestic cricket system. Known for its talented players and loyal supporters, the club continues to inspire pride across the county.
We’re delighted to contribute to their journey and look forward to a strong season ahead.
As part of our sponsorship, the Sheppards name will appear in a range of matchday materials and club events – both at The Seat Unique Stadium and throughout Gloucestershire’s fixtures.
Our presence at the club is about more than visibility, it’s about connection. We want to show our ongoing support for the individuals, families, and shared traditions that define our community.

More Than a Funeral Provider
At Sheppards, our role extends beyond providing funeral services. We aim to play a meaningful part in the everyday life of our community – whether that’s supporting local clubs, sponsoring events, or simply being there when people need us.
This partnership with Gloucestershire Cricket is one more way we continue to show up for our local area — in both the moments of grief and the moments of celebration.
