About us
Meet the in memory of life team
As an independent and family run funeral business, we treat each of family as if they were our own. We want to enable funerals to be led by honouring the memory of the person who has passed rather than price or availability. We aim to make funeral planning simpler and more transparent, and above all to give families full control in all the decision making so that they are able to say goodbye in a truly personal way.
fuNERAL cONDUCTORs
On the day of the funeral, you will be greeted by one of our Funeral Conductors, either Brian, Martin or Geoff. The conductor, recognisable with a top hat and cane, will be your main point of contact and will compassionately guide you and all attendees through the day. Each of our conductors are highly experienced and will answer any of your questions as well as providing instruction to our team or to any family members who choose to carry the coffin.
fuNERAL operations team
Our funeral operations team will collect your relative in our private ambulance, before caring for them with complete compassion and respect at our specialist mortuary facilities in South East London. On the day of the funeral, a team of experienced pallbearers (coffin bearers) and chauffeurs will be there to support you together with the conductor and any officiant you have chosen. Our team will always be immaculately dressed in smart uniforms at all times.
