Stephen Love entered the funeral profession in 1997, following the footsteps of his aunt who also is a funeral director. He began his career working for Houston & Williamson Funeral Directors on the Crumlin Road in North Belfast, followed by Co-operative Funeral Services and Wilton Funeral Services until 2006 when he founded Stephen Love Funeral Directors.

He has therefore gained valuable experience in the profession during this time. Living on the Cregagh Road himself, he understands the needs of local people and continues to serve bereaved families in his community by providing them with the caring and personal service so greatly deserved during their times of grief.
