History

Funerals Deno

Jos Deno started his career as a furniture maker and had a successful furniture store. At one point he was asked if he could also make coffins, which inspired him to offer this service. The demand for his coffins grew, and 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 was assisted in his work by his wife Paula, who was an indispensable support and confidant in the business.

At the end of 2004, Jos decided to take a new path and handed over the baton to Broes Bellefroid.

Funerals Schoeters

Around the year 2007, the paths of Broes Bellefroid and the couple William Schoeters and Francine Peeters crossed. William and Francine were the driving forces behind "Begrafenissen Schoeters" in Kortenberg at the time. 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, and from that moment on, Begrafenissen Deno - Bellefroid consisted of two funeral homes: one in Leefdaal and one in Kortenberg.

Cromboom Funeral Care

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 Bellefroid funerals. 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 Uitvaartzorg Cromboom. This name change marked the beginning of a new chapter, in which David could integrate his own vision and approach,
