About us
The funeral service Hugsjón was founded in March 2020 by the married couple Hugrún Sif Hallgrímsdóttir and Jón Ólafur Sigurjónsson.
Hugrún is a working church organist and principal of the Music School in A - Húnavatnssýsla, but Jón works for the Directorate of Labor and has worked as clergy. The idea of the company came to mind when we found out in our work with the church how much there was a need for funeral services in the area because the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult thing we go through and therefore it is important to be able to turn to professionals when planning a funeral.
