Funerals Deno
Jos Deno started his career as a furniture maker and had a successful furniture store in Leefdaal. His craftsmanship and eye for detail made his furniture popular with the local community. At one point, Jos was asked if he could also make coffins. This question inspired him to offer this service, and soon the demand for his coffins grew. This led to Jos deciding to take it a step further and start his own funeral home. This is how Begrafenissen Deno was founded in the funeral home in Leefdaal.
With a deep-rooted passion for both funeral care and pigeon racing, Jos managed to bring these two worlds together in the buildings of Leefdaal. His craftsmanship and eye for detail were not only reflected in his furniture, but also in the care and attention he gave to each funeral. Jos approached each funeral with the same precision and dedication as his furniture, which ensured a personal and respectful approach to funeral care.
Jos was assisted in his work by his wife Paula, who was an indispensable support and confidant in the business. Paula's involvement and care strengthened the warm and personal atmosphere of the funeral home. Together, Jos and Paula formed a strong team that was known for their professionalism and empathy.
At the end of 2004, Jos decided to take a new path and handed over the baton to Broes Bellefroid. This transition marked the end of an era, but also the beginning of a new phase for Begrafenissen Deno. Broes continued Jos' traditions and values, while bringing his own vision and ideas to help the company grow.

In 2007, the paths of Broes Bellefroid and the couple William Schoeters and Francine Peeters crossed. At that time, William and Francine were the driving forces behind "Begrafenissen Schoeters" in Kortenberg. William's father used to have a carpentry shop, and William started a funeral home in the Kappellestraat in Kortenberg next to his father's carpentry shop. Later, the funeral home was moved to its current location on the Kiewitstraat. Their dedication and care for the community had earned them an excellent reputation.
In 2008, William and Francine decided to retire, which led to the takeover of their funeral business by Broes. With this takeover, Broes expanded its activities, so that Begrafenissen Deno - Bellefroid now consisted of two funeral homes: one in Leefdaal and one in Kortenberg.

In 2007, Broes changed the name to Begrafenissen Bellefroid for both locations
Funeral Care Cromboom
In the year 2022, Broes Bellefroid decided to give his life a different turn and take a new direction. He began his search for a suitable successor who could take over the management of both funeral homes. During this search, he came across David Cromboom, a well-known figure in the funeral sector with whom he had built a professional relationship for several years.
On April 1, 2022, David started as the operator of both the funeral home in Leefdaal and the one in Kortenberg. His experience and dedication to funeral care made him the ideal candidate to continue funeral care Bellefroid. David brought a breath of fresh air to the company and ensured a high standard of care and service.
In February 2024, David took the next step by purchasing both properties. With this acquisition, he also decided to change the name of the company to funeral care Cromboom. This name change marked the beginning of a new chapter, in which David could integrate his own vision and approach. He introduced innovative ideas and improved the existing services, while respecting the traditions and values of the company.
David's leadership brought a new dynamic to funeral care, focusing on personal attention and customization for each funeral. His dedication and passion ensured that funeral care Cromboom quickly became a trusted name in the region, known for its professionalism and empathy.
