From the moment we approached Andrew at the Orpington branch nothing was too much trouble. He listened to what we wanted, which was not traditional and he was happy to accommodate all our wishes.The two gentlemen who came to the house to collect dad after he died were so respectful, patient and kind and explained at every stage what they were doing.We were kept informed throughout the process.Sarah visited us at home to finalise all the arrangements, and we found her to be very caring and empathetic.The team that were at the service offered support and advice as family members carried the coffin in to the church. They were discrete and professional, but also emotionally responsive.They are also immaculately turned out.We would also mention that they have been very responsive to any needs or queries we have had.We are happy to recommend them to take care of your loved ones.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional care, compassion and kindness from Spencer, Stanley and everyone at Uden’s, SidcupWe cannot thank Spencer, Stanley and the whole team at Uden’s in Sidcup enough for the incredible care and compassion they showed us following the heartbreaking loss of our lovely mum.From the very beginning, they were absolutely amazing. At a time when we were feeling heartbroken and overwhelmed, they guided us through everything with such kindness, patience and understanding. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel supported and reassured every step of the way.Spencer and Stanley deserve a very special mention for the way they looked after both our mum and our family. Their warmth, compassion and genuine care went far beyond what we could ever have expected. They treated our mum with such dignity, respect and tenderness, and gave us the reassurance that she was in the very best hands.Every detail was handled with the utmost professionalism, thoughtfulness and care. They helped us give our beautiful mum the farewell she deserved, and for that we will be forever grateful.We would recommend Uden’s in Sidcup without hesitation to anyone who needs a funeral director they can truly trust. The service we received was nothing short of outstanding, and we could not have wished for better people to help us say goodbye to our mum.Thank you for everything.

My family have used Uden & Sons for my Aunts funeral which we found the customer service was excellent. So when my husband died after suffering from Motor Nureone disease for nearly 4 years. There was no question who we would use.As soon as they were contacted they treated my husband with such care and respect. He left our home with dignity and care. Then when I saw Adam at Bexleyheath I was made to feel at ease. My husband wanted a traditional funeral non attended. Which Adam made sure I was able to do giving my husband all his wishes.His funeral was dealt with with such respect. He had the best send of because of the care Uden & Sons gave.

The professional, friendly and polite manner was shown towards us at all times, especially being such a difficult time.The funeral arrangements were completely dealt with respect to cater to our wishes, nothing was too much trouble for them.The funeral service was dignified, respectful, and very high class,and we couldn’t have asked for a better send off.I would highly recommend, worth every penny.Thank you so much.

FAQs

What should I do when a death occurs in Beckenham?

If the death is expected and occurs at home:

Contact the deceased’s doctor and inform them of the death
Once the doctor has given permission to move the deceased, you may contact us and we will aim to be with you within 1-2 hours, to move the person who has died into our care
The doctor will issue the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death to the family representative for registration purposes

If the death occurs at a Nursing Home:

If a resident dies in a nursing home the GP (or qualified nurse on duty) can verify death
The GP will issue a medical certificate for the family to collect which will allow them to register
Most nursing homes will record the resident’s funeral wishes on their care plan. This will specify the chosen Funeral Director and whether the deceased wanted a cremation or a burial.
Once called, we will remove the deceased into our care

If the death occurs in Hospital:

If death occurs at the hospital, then the Doctors and Nurses will liaise with the hospital Bereavement Office, who will arrange all the appropriate paperwork on your behalf.

In cases of sudden and unexpected death:

If a death is unexpected then dial 999 and request an ambulance and police immediately, explaining the circumstances. In the event of an unexpected death occurring, then a coroner may become involved and may order a post-mortem to be carried out to establish an accurate cause of death. The coroner’s officer will keep you informed should this be the case and will liaise with us.

Where is my loved one taken after they die?

In cases where the Coroner is required to investigate the death, the deceased will be taken to a hospital or mortuary until a post-mortem examination is completed. If the death is expected, the funeral director will collect the deceased from the place of death and transport them to the appropriate chapel of rest, pending the arrangement of the funeral. Many large companies have central mortuaries or “hubs” where they store the deceased.

Here at W. Uden & Sons, each of our funeral homes are equipped with their own chapel of rest and have fully hygienic facilities for the care of your loved one. The only exception to this is our Dulwich branch, which shares these facilities with our branch at Camberwell.

Can I arrange a funeral before I register the death?

Yes, once the deceased’s death has been certified, call your local branch and our experienced staff will guide you through the process of arranging the funeral. The only exception is when the Coroner has indicated that he intends to hold a full inquest into the circumstances surrounded the death.
