Michael is proud to be the 3rd generation of the Peace family to work in the business, joining in 2003. Having been to school in Romsey, he went on to play both cricket and rugby locally and now lives in Romsey with his young family. Michael believes it is a privilege to be able to carry on the Peace family’s tradition of caring for bereaved families.

Graham joined the company in 2011 and was appointed manager of our North Baddesley office in 2017.  Graham served for Queen and Country in the Royal Marine Commandos for 8 years and went on tours to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Graham is dedicated to providing dignified and personal funerals in North Baddesley and the surrounding areas.

In everything she does, she strives to provide a very caring and dignified experience for the families she helps.

Lucy Roberts

Lucy joined A. H. Cheater in 2014 for Work Experience. Following University, Lucy returned and her attention to detail and compassion towards families led to her gaining a permanent role. In April 2024 she became a Funeral Director having completed the first part of NAFD Qualifications.
