Situated very close to the main shopping thoroughfare, our Bexleyheath office is prominently-located in Townley Road, with multi-storey car parking nearby. These well-proportioned premises have been transformed in recent years to provide a spacious reception, comfortable arranging room and peaceful chapel of rest.
Our caring and compassionate manager is on hand to welcome you and help with the necessary arrangements at this emotional time. Please visit us or call 0208 303 1279 for personal, professional assistance from your local, family-owned and independent Funeral Directors.
If the death is expected and occurs at home:
If the death occurs at a Nursing Home:
If the death occurs in Hospital:
In cases of sudden and unexpected death:
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.
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.
