Many of the families we look after have loved ones to bring home, or to send home, to somewhere that mattered to them. We arrange repatriation both into and out of the United Kingdom.
We handle every part of the process: collection and care, embalming where required, the certificates and consular paperwork, flights, and a funeral director waiting at the destination. Where a family wishes to travel with their loved one, we arrange that too.
Please telephone to talk it through. In most cases we can give you a clear written estimate the same day.
Home, wherever that is
Repatriation, in and out of the UK.
Bringing a loved one home is often the most important thing. We will take care of it start to finish, working with embassies, airlines and funeral directors abroad.
Every faith, every family
Services in keeping with your tradition.
Camden and Islington are home to many communities. You should not have to explain your traditions from scratch. We have arranged funerals of every faith, and none, for many years.
Catholic & Christian
Requiem Mass, Anglican and Free Church services, coordinated with the church and minister of your family's choosing.
Jewish
Burials arranged promptly and in keeping with tradition, working with your family's synagogue and chevra kadisha.
Muslim
Ritual washing (ghusl), shrouding and burial arranged without delay, coordinating with your family's mosque and preferred burial ground.
Greek & Russian Orthodox
Full Orthodox rites, arranged with the priest and parish of your family's tradition.
Hindu, Sikh & Buddhist
Cremation arranged in keeping with each family's rites, including viewing, ceremony and the scattering of ashes.
Humanist & non-religious
A ceremony led by a trusted celebrant, or no formal service at all. Entirely as your family wishes.
If your tradition is not listed here, please telephone. In almost every case we have arranged a similar service before, and where we have not, we will find the right people and learn.
Planning ahead
Pre-paid funeral plans.
Paying for a funeral in advance spares your family the cost and the decisions later on. Since 2022 these plans are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we will only ever recommend a provider that is FCA-authorised.
A plan lets you set out the funeral you would like, fix the cost at today's prices, and have us carry out your wishes when the time comes. It is held safely with a regulated provider, not with us.
We are happy to sit down with you, without pressure, and talk through what a plan would cover, what it would not, and whether it is the right thing for your circumstances. Often it is. Sometimes a different arrangement suits a family better, and we will say so.
Telephone us to arrange a quiet conversation at our office on Brecknock Road, or at your home.
Transparent pricing
Our prices, in full. Nothing hidden.
Every funeral director in the UK is required by the Competition and Markets Authority to publish a Standardised Price List. Ours is in the same format as every other firm, so you can compare us openly.
When you are ready, we are here.
We are at the end of the phone whenever you need us, and we answer every call ourselves. Or send a message and we will come back to you the same day.
