Our Funeral Home in Ashford

PROUDLY SERVING ASHFORD

You're welcome anytime

We know it can be tough knowing where to begin when arranging a funeral — and that's exactly where we come in. As independent funeral directors, we're proud to serve Ashford and the families around it, supporting you with warmth and care from the very first moment. Do take a look at our reviews to see what families say about us.

You're welcome to meet us in person at our funeral home, or we can come to you, or simply arrange a call — whatever feels easiest for you. Jo and Carl are independent funeral directors, so you'll never be passed from one person to another. You will always get through to our experienced team.

INSIDE OUR FUNERAL HOME

What happens at our funeral home

This is where we meet families and talk through your loved one's wishes. When you call us, we collect your loved one and bring them here to our funeral home before the funeral. We care for them ourselves and prepare them for their final journey, taking great care to fulfil your wishes — keeping treasured keepsakes with them and dressing them in clothes of your choosing.

Your loved one will be treated with the utmost dignity and respect at all times. You will always know exactly where they are — unlike national chains, who often transport those in their care to central hubs many miles away. You are also welcome to visit your loved one in our chapel of rest whenever you wish.

What to Expect When You Visit

Our home was designed to feel nothing like a 'typical' funeral director's — warm and welcoming rather than cold or formal. From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel comfortable, unhurried and looked after.

Relaxed Seating

A comfortable, homely lounge area where you can sit, take your time and gather your thoughts.

Children's Corner

Bean bags and activities to keep little ones happy, so the whole family is welcome.

Tea & Coffee

A drinking station is always on hand — settle in with a cuppa whenever you need one.

A Private Space

Discreet divider screens give you privacy and calm while we make arrangements together.

Easy Parking

Parking is available so you can arrive and leave with as little stress as possible.

Step-Free Access

Our premises are wheelchair accessible, so everyone can visit comfortably.

LET'S TALK

What we'll talk about together

When you visit, there's nothing to prepare and nothing to worry about. We'll simply talk things through together, gently and at your own pace:

A PLACE OF COMFORT

The Chapel of Rest & visiting your loved one

Our Chapel of Rest is discreetly accessible from the reception area, so you can come and go quietly and as often as you wish. For many families, spending a little time with their loved one brings real comfort, and you are always welcome.

You will know exactly where your loved one is and precisely who is caring for them. We can place special keepsakes or photographs with them, dress them in clothes of your choosing, and carefully prepare them for their final journey — whatever feels right to you.

Loved ones cared for in Ashford, by people you know

Many of the large national chains transport those in their care to central hubs, often miles away. We care for your loved one ourselves, here in our own funeral home — and in our experience, knowing where they are and who is looking after them brings families enormous comfort during this difficult time.
