Almost a century of history!
Today, Xavier BOUVY is the instigator of the only funeral home in the Ixelles area.
The BOUVY funeral directors, Ixellois from father to son, already have a long tradition in a profession which, in its current conception, is not as old as one might think.
It was at the beginning of the last century that René Bouvy started a funeral service for a few clients. This was soon followed by the supply of the coffin and the installation of a burial chapel at the home of the deceased.
His son Henri Bouvy set up business in 1953 at 22-24 rue Gustave Biot in Ixelles. Trained as a carpenter, he became involved in the manufacture of coffins and continued his father’s activity to make it a full-time occupation.
It was in January 1990 that Patrick Bouvy gave the company its definitive name, namely : Funérailles Henri Bouvy & Fils.
Today, the succession is assured, and he is the instigator of the only Funeral Home in the Ixelles area.
