Luana F. ★★★★★ Hi all,W.uden & Sons did an excellent job. During this very sad time in our lives, everyone in the company we interacted with was extremely kind and made nothing difficult for us. Thanks to their help, we were able to say goodbye to our dear dad, husband, son, and brother with the honor he deserved. We all will face this moment one day, so if you need to lay a loved one to rest, W.uden & Sons comes highly recommended.Sam R. ★★★★★ We recently entrusted W. Uden & Sons, Eltham branch, with directing our amazing dad’s funeral, and they were truly outstanding. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, helpful, and friendly during what was such a difficult time for us.Their communication was exceptional, particularly from Denice, who was nothing short of world-class. She is the loveliest, most approachable person, and her kindness and support made navigating this process so much easier. And when Denice wasn’t available, Ben treated us with the same exceptional care and respect alongside the most comforting smile (even when we were all full of tears and emotion).On the day, Jack and the team went above and beyond, showing so much care and attention to detail. The celebrant they chose, Jo Bamford, was the perfect choice for our dad. She was absolutely incredible and captured him so beautifully; she truly was a blessing.The whole team made time for our entire family, whether it was the multiple visits to the chapel of rest or addressing any of our concerns. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them.You never expect to have to plan a funeral unless it’s inevitable, but I can say with certainty that us Carpo’s will always return to W. Uden & Sons. They are, without question, the best in the business, and we can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us.Christian S. ★★★★★ First class service from start to finish. I cannot express how much we appreciated the support and guidance we received arranging Mum's funeral. We were well looked after by Spencer who was patient, knowledgeable, kind and respectful when arranging what would happen on the day. He respected our wishes and helped us to personalise the day, ensuring we could plan the day exactly as we wanted. We were informed of all the choices and the prices were very competitive. Spencer regularly contacted us to let us know everything was in hand and dealt with all the other parties involved on the day (florist, crematorium, preacher etc), making sure everything went to plan. We also received a call the night before from Lee, who asked if we had any concerns and confirmed the plans of the next day, this really helped to put our minds at ease. Lee expertly directed the proceedings on the day and the other staff were professional, friendly and looked very smart. We had the Bentley cars so Mum could arrive in style and they were spotless. We appreciate the support and guidance that we received from W.Uden & Sons. They took care of mum, the family and everything else involved in giving Mum a lovely send off, it couldn't have gone better. I rate them 10/10 in all departments and recommend their services, especially if like me, you want to have your requests for the day to be carried out respectfully and profesionally, but without the stress of making sure everything goes to plan yourself. Many of my friends and family commented on how nice and professional the team were on the day and how posh our cars were! This is a heart felt thanks to all at W. Uden & Sons Family Funeral Directors SidcupDavid A. ★★★★★ A first rate service with minimal fuss and maximum attention to detail. Highly recommendedFrancois N. ★★★★★ We received the warmest and most courteous service from W. Uden in Eltham after the death of my beloved wife, Bronwen. Denise, who was looking after us, helped us sorting out and organise everything around the funerals. Through her we were put in contact with the nicest, most empathic and diligent celebrant, Ms Christina Carty, and the ceremony was a true celebration of Bronwen, including a nice webcam which went to the friends and family of Bronwen in Australia and New Zealand. I was truly dreading all the events around the funerals, but with the help of my children and friends, as well as Uden staff, we celebrated Bronwen life the way she would have liked.karen S. ★★★★★ This isn’t the first time we have used W.Uden&Sons and there was no doubt we would use them again for my husbands funeral.From the moment we walked in the door at their Biggin Hill office Nigel took care of us he was kind, courteous, caring and sympathetic.Everything was arranged seamlessly, and we had excellent customer service and was kept up to date from start to finish .We chose their Jaguar Package for my husbands funeral and it didn’t disappoint.Everything was taken care of, and at such a distressing time this was most welcomed.

From the very beginning, Matthew took the time to explain every detail with care and was incredibly accommodating in answering all our questions. Our culture involves many specific customs and practices, but no request was ever too much. The team showed remarkable patience, especially with my mother, who tends to be quite anxious, and their kindness never wavered.

Their care and attention to detail from the first meeting to discuss arrangements, the liaison with the Celebrant and to the lowering of the coffin and transport home following the funeral was delivered with military precision.

Very smart, professional company, treated us all with the utmost respect. Would use these guys again and again. Thanks to all of you at Uden….Joanne P. ★★★★★ Uden’s Funeral Directors are by far amongst the best there are in their industry. Our father’s funeral on the day was directed with perfect precision and was faultless. We had a church service and then on to the crematorium which was totally seamless. The director of our father’s funeral Spencer we cannot speak highly enough of. He was our contact from the start at Uden Sidcup and he updated us at every step along the way and made our Father’s day one not to forget. We had so much lovely feedback from our guests who said they had never been to a funeral like it. it was like a theatrical production from the arrival of the beautiful gleaming cars to the Soprano who led the hymns and sung solo. Also, a beautiful gesture from Spencer who handed my mother a flower from the flowers that were with my father, this meant so much to my mother. Spencer directed the Uden Drivers with military precision; all this making the family confident in his care. If this was indeed a theatrical production then Spencer would have won an Oscar for his direction. Thank you Uden’s you made for an unforgettable day.Denise F. ★★★★★ My mum had sorted her own funeral through Udens in Biggin Hill and she made an 3xcellent choice. It was in trepidation I walked through those doors to find out what I did next. From that moment I was guided gently and sympathetically through the whole process. From beginning to end I was supported by the kindest people and I feel that my mum would have been so proud of her dignified farewell. A big thank you to the whole of the Udens teamRichard R. ★★★★★ From the very first contact we were extremely impressed, and grateful, for the maticulous care and attention shown at a very difficult time for the family. We felt extremely well supported and everything was made easy and handled in such a sensitive way. We could not recommend anyone more highly.S A W. ★★★★★ UDENS came highly recommended to me when I lost my mum in late September. I phoned the after hours number and was informed by a kind and gentle voice, (his name escapes me), that Callum and Joseph would be with me soon to collect Mum. They were there with us in half an hour and were both so lovely and gentle with her. Adam in the Bexleyheath office looked after her from the night she passed, to her funeral in early November. Everyone at Udens treated her, and us with the utmost respect, nothing was too much trouble. I must confess, I was a little worried about the cost as we, as a family chose what we wanted for her last journey, but Stan and the drivers gave her a beautiful send off for a very reasonable cost. Your loved one will be looked after with respect and the utmost care, as was my Mum.Sarah A. ★★★★★ I cannot express enough how grateful my family and I are for the incredible service we received from W. Uden & Sons Eltham, during such a difficult time of grieving our dad.Throughout the funeral planning process, Sarah's professionalism and compassion stood out. She took the time to thoroughly explain all the available options, patiently walking us through every detail and she ensured that all our wishes were executed perfectly on the day of the funeral. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our family’s needs and was committed to making sure everything was handled with the utmost care and respect.On the day of the service, Stanley and his team were outstanding. They worked with professionalism, patience, and respect, offering the kind of support that went beyond what we expected. They were particularly attentive to my mother, who has a bad leg. The driver helped her fasten her seatbelt and Stanley showed her immense kindness by holding her had to support her when walking. These little acts of kindness made such a difference. They treated my late father as if he were a member of their own family. The dignity and respect they showed him was beyond words. The team's appearance was immaculate, and everything was coordinated flawlessly, which contributed to the peaceful and dignified farewell we were hoping for.At such a challenging time, organising a funeral can easily become overwhelming. The care and service provided by Sarah, Stanley, and their team relieved any additional stress, allowing us to focus on grieving and honouring our dad. What they did for us meant more than we could ever put into words. I highly recommend.Tina L. ★★★★★ W Uden & Sons in Biggin Hill were exceptional.

The funeral was arranged with great thought and everything was explained to us thoroughly.

I don’t live in Kent, so was aware it could be difficult to arrange remotely, especially as Mum also needed moving back home to Kent from my location. Nothing was too much trouble, we managed to arrange everything via emails and phone calls with Allan and Adam. The communication was excellent throughout. Lee looked after us on the day and I really appreciated the phone call from him, on the morning of the funeral, to ensure I had no last minute questions or concerns.Everyone looked immaculate, as did the cars and being able to choose coloured ties instead of black was a lovely touch. The care we received from Lee and the team throughout the day, felt really personalised.

Much of the detail was in the hands of Uden but where they did not do things, they gave us the contacts we needed - florist, printer and Celebrant.

From the beautiful flower filled Bentley hearse and funeral car, to guiding us through the service and after, and to Andrew for being kind enough to fill the boot with most of the flowers to decorate the wake venue, as well as finding lost sunglasses and ensuring they were returned to us, we couldn't have asked for anything more.What was a hugely emotional and difficult day, became a wonderful memory and tribute to our wonderful mother and a truely lovely send off.We will always be grateful to Uden, with special thanks to Andrew, Charlie and Jack as well as the other attendents on the day.Pollyanna R. ★★★★★ I went to Udens as our family had used them before, but I had never personally organised a funeral.

We've lived in Peckham for 33 years so have often walked past their Peckham branch and seen their beautiful carriages and cars out in the streets. We spoke to a few other companies before Uden and perhaps it's their 142 year history as a family run business, but they seemed perfect. It's an extremely delicate art being able to talk with a grieving family without sounding fawning or obsequious. All of the Uden staff we spoke to and met were extremely friendly, utterly professional, caring and when appropriate even funny - truly wonderful people. There's also a remarkable eye for detail. I can't recommend them higher.David B ★★★★★ What a businessLost my father on the 9th NovemberThis company (Udens)is amazing the way they help you through the process, in my case Catholic Mass then a Religious burial.Everyone I spoke too from the organist, the musician the priest all came back tome praising how on the ball they were nothing was left to chanceThey were immaculately dressed, cars glistening clean and the way they showed compassion to my Mum brother and myself was excellentMy Late Dad was shown nothing but the highest form of respect by Udens and the day was made so much easier by this companyHighly recommendDawn B. ★★★★★ The highest level of dignity throughout, all services provided were outstanding, from organising to the service day, the whole team made such a sad and unbearable time, one to remember through wonderful memories made at such a wonderful and dignified send off, that fitted my dad perfectly.

I can’t thank them enough for the part they played in helping me and my family deal with what for us was the most emotional and stressful time ever.Jenny S. ★★★★★ We had never organised a funeral service, so all seemed quite overwhelming.Sophie was our first point of contact and explained the whole process to us.Sophie’s extraordinary work ethic, was shown by her determination and dedication towards her role. She was extremely professional and exhibited compassion, respect and excellence that made her outstanding. We felt like a huge weight had been lifted during our time of need.

The family left feeling so relaxed and at ease.Sophie gave us info on a few crematoriums, and following many family discussions… and chats with Sophie we finally chose to go to Honor Oak Crematorium. We were so happy to have eventually made that choice as the crematorium and surrounding area was beautiful.The afternoon before the funeral Lee J, the conductor, called to confirm the plans for the day and to see if we needed anything. Lee was so professional & caring and had such a warming voice, once again we had no worries at all.On the morning of the funeral the hearse, 2 family cars and a London Black Taxi arrived at our home in immaculate condition. All of the team were extremely well groomed and looked sharp in their attire, they displayed exceptional respect and care.

The taxi was required for my mother who uses a wheel chair and is not able to walk or transfer.David M was so professional, kind, compassionate and caring he immediately made the family feel at ease, there was no question in my mind that he would be the right person for our funeral service. David checked out the route and contacted us a few days and also the day before the service, to see if there was anything that we needed. The electric taxi arrived, spotless and smelt lovely, there were cushions and a beautiful throw with music on offer as well (if needed), my parents felt so comfortable. David’s appearance was immaculate from head to toe, he looked extremely smart in a Tailored Suit and his warmth, support and attention to detail was impeccable.Although a sad day the team who looked after us Peter, Jack, Lee W, Steve, Lee J the conductor and David M provided the much needed comfort, that made the day more bearable.

The gentlemen who looked after us were incredibly smart and the comfortable cars were spotless and shone almost as much as the bearers shoes! At a time in my life when I needed looking after the most Udens were there. Can’t recommend them enough - although I do hope it’s a while before I see them all again! Thank you Udens - from the bottom of my heart - thank you xEmma B. ★★★★★ We entrusted w.uden & sons with helping prepare for my dads funeral, we was pleased with the care they gave him and the respect shown towards our loved one and ourselves. Sophie who was our main contact support was available to answer any and all questions and helped to accommodate our wishes. The service they provided was both extremely professional and personal at all times. For such a difficult time they helped make things just that bit easier. They also put us in contact with an excellent celebrant Robin Desmond who was a perfect match for our needs.Gemma L. ★★★★★ It takes very special people to do the job W. Uden & Sons do. We had no idea what to expect or the process involved when our loved one passed away but Uden & Sons were the most compassionate and helpful Funeral Directors we could have ever wished to find. I must make a special mention to Lee at Uden & Sons Biggin Hill as I was completely blown away by the care and kindness he showed towards us all. I think he genuinely is one of the most warm and comforting people I could have met during this saddest of times for our family.The most heartfelt thank you goes to Lee, you will never know how much your words and your presence gave me great strength and for that I will be always grateful to you.With the warmest of wishes to you all at Uden & Sons.Lucy F. ★★★★★ Where do I start! Absolutely amazing team, so kind and considerate from the very beginning. They are so understanding and go out of their way to make things easy and as stress free as possible (which must be so hard in their work). I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who has lost someone very close to them. I am very grateful for your kindness and consideration down to the detail on my Dad's police flag.Lolly B ★★★★★ Uden & Sons gave tremendous warmth, support and attention to detail in the arrangement of the funeral, making a truly difficult event a little easier. They accommodated our wishes for our loved one and showed the utmost respect before, during and after the service. Particular thanks goes to Sophie, Lee and Danny. I highly, highly recommend Uden & Sons.georgina D. ★★★★★ At a very sad time, W. Uden & Sons understood what we were going through and were vert sympathetic and caring. They took care of all our needsHelen W. ★★★★★ The people who dealt with me and my partner were amazing every time we went to see my mum.On mum’s funeral day they brought mum home and treated her with such respect.Honestly they were so so kind and respectful about everything and nothing was too much for any of them.Tony H. ★★★★★ Used the Eltham branch of Udens to arrange the funeral of a family member. The staff were sympathetic and caring throughout the whole process and answered all questions promptly and professionally. They put us in touch with an excellent celebrant as well as recommending a printer who produced the order of service.On the day of the funeral, everything went well and mourners commentated on how smart the officials looked.Steve R. ★★★★★ Thank you so much to Uden & Sons for making a very sad, difficult day a little easier to bear. From the first moment to the last it was a smooth problem free process.

Would highly recommend Uden & Sons to anyone seeking a totally professional and efficient team. 5 star.Soozi D. ★★★★★ We are so pleased with the service Uden's provided with our loved one. We had a very bespoke funeral with a lot of unusual requests and Uden's did not hesitate to deliver. Their presentation on the day was impeccable and was commented on by our guests. We recommend Uden's for top class care for your loved one. You won't be disappointed. Massive thank you to Ben at Eltham and Stanley who looked after us on our precious day.lois M. ★★★★★ I was recommended Udens by a friend - we went to the Bexleyheath branch and met Spencer who was amazing from start to finish and looked after my John so well for meSo professional and so caring would recommend 💯Sandra B. ★★★★★ Dealing with the death of a loved one is always difficult but Uden's are very caring and made the whole process as pain free as possible from arranging the funeral, getting the order of service printed and on the day of the funeral. Mum could not have been in better care. Nothing was too much trouble.Robert Q. ★★★★★ I simply cannot recommend Uden & Sons highly enough. Having chosen them for my mothers funeral arrangements in 2006, I returned to them upon my fathers passing last month. I dealt with Nigel at the Biggin Hill office, who could not have been more sympathetic and helpful. The Uden team that conducted the funeral were faultless in their professionalism, courtesy and respect. I received many comments from mourners about how well the funeral was handled.Sylvia B. ★★★★★ We had very recently, had occasion to use the services of W. Uden & Sons and cannot praise them highly enough for the caring and professional way that they conducted the funeral. At all times their attention to detail was second to none. From our initial visit with Nigel at the Biggin Hill branch to the actual day of the funeral we were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. We were given the choice of which crematorium we would prefer to use and they advised as to the type of service whether religious or not. In our case we chose a non-religious service and Udens recommended a wonderful Celebrant, Kate who helped us through the whole process both before and during the service. Our loved one was at all times treated with dignity and the wellbeing of the family was always at the forefront of everything they did.We were given advice as to printing an order of service and also useful contacts for the photo tribute which was set to music.The vehicles were immaculate as were the liveried chauffeurs and the funeral director. I can honestly say that the care and compassion along with Uden’s professionalism helped enormously to make an incredibly sad day more bearable. Well done Udens.Paul H. ★★★★★ Thankyou so much w uden &sons cannot thankyou enough the funeral was really lovely and the service thankyou so much John Paul &patSteph L. ★★★★★ We would like to thank Spencer for taking the upmost care helping us arrange the funeral of our baby boy.From every tiny little detail to the day itself Spencer was with us all the way.The care and support you showed us was beyond anything we could have expected.Thank you for taking all the stress away from us at the most painful of times.We fully appreciate everything you did for foe the whole family.Rose L. ★★★★★ In the midst of all our grief, W. Uden & Sons Family Funeral Directors at Southampton Way, Camberwell treated both our family and departed Mum with the highest degree of dignity, compassion and professionalism. We had no qualms about choosing them as we had used their excellent service in 2014 when we laid our Dad to rest. At the funeral parlour, Mum looked peaceful and serene and we never felt rushed each time we visited. On Mum’s day it was raining when she arrived home one final time. The team stood smartly dressed beside each family car with umbrellas wearing red ties as we requested (Mum loved red so we asked all funeral attendees to wear a small token in her honour). A wholehearted big thank you to Darrell, the Chief Pallbearer and the team for looking after us and seamlessly overseeing the day’s proceedings. To sum up, W. Uden & Sons are not just any funeral directors – it’s the little traditions ie. bowing as respect to the deceased as well as going above and beyond to provide exceptional support in planning a funeral. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us which allowed us to give Mum the fantastic send-off she deserved. With gratitude, Rose and Beckee xDeborah A. ★★★★★ Nigel, Spencer and the team were truly amazing. They were the epitome of respectful, gentle , kind, totally professional, well organised and readily available. They were also flexible.At a time of great sorrow and confusion they met every expectation and really helped us to arrange the perfect send off for our loved one.We would certainly recommend them.Gillian H. ★★★★★ I cannot thank W.Udens & Sons enough for organising an outstanding service for my beloved fathers final journey. Sophie and Lee were absolutely outstanding throughout this difficult time for myself and my mother and always maintained dignity, respect and kindness throughout this difficult time. They went above and beyond and we couldn't have asked for anything else. Such kind, caring and dignified people. Lee made sure that everything ran smoothly and gave us nothing to worry about. Can't thank you all enough.GillianSherelle R. ★★★★★ On our first meeting with Sophie, we were immediately put at ease, especially considering that the funeral process was new to us. She exuded a high level of professionalism and took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, which we truly appreciated.Throughout the entire process, the family was kept well-informed, and we were pleasantly surprised when Mr. Andrew Uden personally reached out to confirm the details of the funeral. His caring and professional demeanour left us feeling reassured and supported.On the day of the funeral, both Andrew Uden and the rest of the team displayed remarkable care, and their conduct was impeccable. Their presence and attention to detail made a challenging day more manageable and comforting.From the moment we met Sophie, we knew we had made the best choice. She instilled in us the confidence that our beloved mum would be well-cared for, alleviating the anxiety that often comes with arranging a funeral.We are wholeheartedly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Uden, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to others who may be in need of such services. Thank you for making this difficult time a little easier to bear with your genuine care and professionalism.Posted on behalf of Mrs C. Palmer and the Cummings familyJay Willink W. ★★★★★ Heartfelt gratitude to all at Uden & Sons Bexleyheath for directing a very special funeral for our dear mum. Especial thanks go to Spencer and Allan for always being there at the end of a phone call or email as we made all the difficult, often emotional arrangements and decisions ahead of the service. And to Lee who led proceedings on the day with such style and care, and who even made little posies for us for the journey home in the limousine. You all show immense respect, meticulous attention to detail, and artistry in your work. I recommend you wholeheartedly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Janet, Helen, Rebecca and Rachel.Hannah G. ★★★★★ I cannot thank and praise both Matthew and Spencer enough for the care, kindness and total professionalism that they have shown to our family at such a difficult time. The celebrant Matthew recommended to us, Nicola Taylor captured my sister Jenny perfectly! I was helped and supported with absolutely everything.I can highly recommend them to anyone.Julie K. ★★★★★ The experience of working with W. Uden and Sons was exceptional from start to finish. Our funeral director, Spencer Baxter, couldn't have been more helpful in supporting us through what was a quite complicated arrangement for my Dad. On the day of the funeral every last detail was performed by him and his team meticulously with the greatest of care, respect and dignity for him and our family. I'm extremely grateful to them and highly recommend their services.Winston B. ★★★★★ we were very impressed with the professionalism displayed by the staff at Southampton Way throughout the period that they looked after my cousin and on to the repatriation of his remains to Sierra Leone. I will recommend UDENS with confidence to anyone requiring the services of an undertakerFaith L. ★★★★★ Can not fault the service received from Udens, they were recommended to us, and from start to finish they were considerate, professional and made the whole experience less stressful.Richard U. ★★★★★ Very good service respectfully deliveredPam R. ★★★★★ Uden's Camberwell Branch were very helpful and respectful of our wishes. On the day, Spencer and his team were very reassuring and ensured everything ran smoothly.Nicholas B. ★★★★★ We used Udens for my mother's funeral some 15 years back and were impressed and delighted with the service then. Last month we chose Udens again for Papa's funeral. Once more the quiet assured style and precision came to the fore with the entire team, from first engagement to last, performing impeccably. Much impressed and grateful for the care that was given.Matthieu K. ★★★★★ A heartfelt 5-stars review for Udens Camberwell branch and its team for their services and professionalism as well as personalized experience during such a difficult time. The team at Uden has been very available to support and execute against everything we needed during the 1 month our dad's body remained in their facilities until they managed his repatriation to West Africa. Everything was well taken care of and went smoothly. Thank you!Margaret B. ★★★★★ Uden's are a well-known and trusted funeral directorship in our area. Everyone we met treated us with compassion and sensitivity and willingness to help. Each person we met introduced themselves and explained what would happen which is very reassuring when grievong the lpss of a relative. Our Dutch relatives were really impressed by the way the day was conducted. Punctual, calm, well-dressed and respectful, even providing some tape to patch up a hole in the lining of my coat. I would recommend their services. Thank you.John G. ★★★★★ We are so pleased to have chosen W. Uden & Sons following unwavering recommendations from friends and family who had used their services on other occasions. Caring and efficient from beginning to end during what was clearly a difficult time. Their professionalism and the support provided was faultless and I would highly recommend unconditionally.Bridget N. ★★★★★ As a family, we have always turned to Uden's for our loved one's funerals.We find them to be very caring, considerate and of course very experienced. What is a very sad & daunting time, is made easier, knowing you can trust them implicitly.We entrusted our darling Mum into their care recently & Mum was looked after with quiet dignity until the service, which, with the help from Chris at the Dulwich office was all that we could have wished it to be for our Mum.Liaising with both the church & the grave personnel on our behalf, we would not have known where to start without his guidance.We would not hesitate in recommending Udens.William H. ★★★★★ Udens took over this family funeral at fairly short notice from another undertaker, when the latter could not meet the desired funeral date. Udens were able to take over and meet all the requirements for the funeral, and provided a first class and dignified service throughout.Patrick H. ★★★★★ Uden's provided excellent understanding attention ,and service in Biggin Hill. Mr .Nigel Jones was extremely helpful, patient, and understanding throughout. Mr .Andrew Uden who led the Funeral and team were excellent. It was good that we were able to hold the Funeral Service at Westerham Hill Baptist Church led by the Pastor Kevin Tibble assisted by Martha Collins. All arrangements were closely co-ordinated with Biggin Hill Trades. The Order of Service printing by Think Pad, Catering by Little Mollies, Flowers by Lily of the Valley. All excellent and closely co-ordinated.THANKS to UDEN'S and you ALL.Sandra J. ★★★★★ Amazing Funeral director's!We were recommended Udens by the care home my uncle passed away in, and honestly they provided the best support, assistance and help. This is the first time we have had to deal with a death in our family, and they really held our hand through the process. They were patient with us, whilst the family was organizing the funeral overseas. We ended up doing a repatriation and they recommended a company based in Nigeria who would deal with things on the other end, and once again they did not disappoint. Very reasonably priced compared to the other directors out there. Honestly cant thank them enough!Special thanks to the Eltham & Camberwell team.Dawn W. ★★★★★ Very professional and friendly. Booked my Dad's funeral with them and they were very helpful and caring. They made arrangements for the care of my Dad from hospital to their Camberwell Branch. They advised me of everything I needed to do. The day before funeral the lead director dealing with the arrangements phoned me to introduce himself and told me what time he would be arriving with Dad, he checked if we had flowers for the hearse at our house so he could arrange extra time to place them on hearse and displayed nicely. On arrival at the Crematorium he made sure everyone had a order of service. They treated the coffin with the greatest respect. The hearse and 2nd two limousines were immaculate and the staff from Uden's were smart and professional. Also used Uden's a few years ago for my mum's funeral. Would highly recommend.ES ★★★★★ To all the team at W Uden and Sons Biggin Hill, thank you for your kindness, your compassion, your care, worrying for us so we didn't have to, the respect you showed, your attention to detail, knowing when to pause and let us have a moment of silent reflection, allowing us to now look back on the day and smile knowing we gave our Ma the day she deserved.Spencer, Nigel, Paul and all the team you are true professionals and we're so grateful to you, thank you, Rosa's family ❤️D M ★★★★★ Uden & Sons exceeded every expectation we had in taking care of our mum. Nigel was a pleasure, very kind and sensitive, always finding the right thing to say, and very helpful and informative. We had confidence in Uden & Sons from the first meeting with Nigel. On the day, Spencer and the team took care of mum and the level of service was touching. Very respectful, very kind and patient. I couldn't recommend the team enough, they are wonderful and mum would've been so happy to have had such care and attention. Thank you team.Jackie P. ★★★★★ I will be forever Grateful to Nigel and his team for the care and support they gave to me and my family on my Dad’s passing. I had absolute trust in them when they took over my Dad’s care while he laid in the Chapel of Rest. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole process was seamless from start to finish. I am so grateful that Dad took out his funeral plan with you. My heartfelt thanks, you made a very difficult experience that little bit easier!derek H. ★★★★★ Thank you to you and your team for your service at our father's funeral on Monday 5th December. The service provided by your team was very well coordinated and thoroughly professional.It’s G. ★★★★★ Unfortunately this is the 2nd time we have used Udens & they literally take all the stress away. Very professional but at the same time friendly & compassionate. Would highly recommendmelanie F. ★★★★★ We found Nigel and his colleagues to be professional and caring, my lovely mum could not have wished for better service. Everyone was respectful of our feelings and mums, nothing was to much trouble. This was not the first time we have used Udens both of my Grandparents also had the tender care of this lovely family company. My father and I cannot thank them enough .Melanie FebbrariPaul T ★★★★★ W.Uden & Sons provided excellent service for my father-in-laws care and funeral. From our initial meeting with Nigel to the funeral with Darrell directing, everything was handled calmly, professionally and with the utmost respect and dignity. Thank-youBecki P. ★★★★★ Care, compassion and kindness.Nigel was our contact and no matter how many times we called or popped in with a question or request it was never a problem. Every detail was covered even down to the blue & white striped ties that the staff wore on the day of dad's funeral which matched the blue and white rugby blazers worn by dads friends.A difficult day made so much easier as we were supported and guided by Andrew and his team on the day - thank you.Lee ★★★★★ After losing someone close, making funeral arrangements is one of the most difficult and daunting times we all face at some time in our life.However, if I could give W. Uden & Sons 10 stars I would. Right from the very start they were highly professional yet compassionate, whilst also outlining and covering everything clearly during the meeting. The communication in the weeks leading up to the day was also exceptional.The day itself couldn't have gone any better. The level of service and professionalism was second to none throughout, of which my late grandfather would have been very proud. Literally, every detail, however small, was thought of and taken care of and they clearly do treat it as though they are looking after one of their own family.Therefore I cannot commend Chris at Camberwell and Spencer ( the Conductor on the day) enough for the effort they both put in. Exceptional true gentlemen.When the time sadly comes again, I can honestly say I would not hesitate in using anyone else but W. Uden & Sons.Katie B. ★★★★★ Thank you so much to Nigel and Darrell for all their help with our baby girl’s funeral. They were both so compassionate and empathetic in a seriously tragic situation. They made us feel so looked after and supported, for which we are eternally grateful.They also helped with my Nan’s funeral a couple of weeks later and the exceptional service was replicated.Teresa B. ★★★★★ What a wonderful team! Nothing was too much trouble, Nigel showed such compassion and understanding of how we wanted my mums funeral .His advice was spot on, he suggested a lovely celebrant for the actual service and even though she had never met my mum she made us feel she knew her. Darrell made sure everyone was involved with the graveside ceremony . Thank you all so much. Teresa BrettKatie H. ★★★★★ Thankyou for a excellent funeral service . You was 1st class , very caring and professional. I would recommend you as the best funeral directors.Debbie L. ★★★★★ My Brother and I were very impressed with the professional way that Chris and the rest of the staff handled our Father’s recent Funeral.They were sympathetic and courteous throughout the whole process.A special thank you to Sophie who had to deal with a rather unpleasant person, she dealt with the situation perfectly!Stewart G. ★★★★★ On the day, Adrian and Sam were reassuring, kindly and attentive. The procedures were carried out with dignity and reverence but were not over heavy in a way that would have lessened the sense of its being a family occasion.Prior to the day of the funeral, the manner of everyone we had contact with at Udens was always respectful and charming without being obsequious. Everything was explained clearly and all the organization and responses to our questions were done promptly and efficiently.The service was lovely. Before the funeral I was distressed and unhappy but thanks to you and Reverend Steve I now feel sad but calm.The only criticism that I have was that I would have liked to have been one of the pall bearers. I understand that there are probably legal reasons but, with covid and the fact that most of the attendees were elderly and travelling from many different places, it was impossible to organize that the family carried the coffin. I think that Udens could investigate the possibility of 1 or 2 family members supplementing the professional pall bearers in a way that doesn’t affect the security of the coffin and the congregation when it’s being carried.susan P. ★★★★★ W.Uden and sons were fantastic. We had to re-arrange funeral dates on 3 different occasions and they were professional each time and understood and cared each time . The service went well, staff made you feel at ease in distressing times. Thank you for such a great service.Karen S. ★★★★★ When i had to arrange a funeral for the first time to be honest I didn't know where to start.I decided to go to W.Uden & Sons in DulwichI was greeted by by a gentleman by the name of Trevor who immediately put me at ease with his warm professional manner.He talked me through all aspects of the arrangements until everthing was clear and compleate.On the day of the funeral I was contacted in the morning by the funeral director Darryl,he talked me through the plans for the day and that put my mind at rest,when the time came he made sure everything was done ina respectful and careing manner and advisedmyself and the other mourners throughout thewhole time.The funeral staff are very smartly turned out,kind and helpfull and the cars usedare beautiful and well kept...I really could not have asked for more..so thank you W.Uden & Son for making one of the worst day's better.Yours SincerelyK.Stocking/KnightDaniela B. ★★★★★ I have used W.Uden & Sons for three family funerals. They have always been completely professional and extremely understanding. Arranging a funeral is always a difficult and emotional process and I have always felt very well looked after. The services offered on the day of the funeral are excellent and the team are extremely respectful.V U ★★★★★ Excellent service as always. Thank you.Sylvia D. ★★★★★ I am very satisfied with the services W Uden & Sons provided for my husband's funeral in December 2019. Everything went smoothly and the Thanksgiving Service at Honor Oak Crematorium was a moving tribute. All of Uden's staff were kind and courteous and I would thoroughly recommend themMargaret D. ★★★★★ Everyone at Uden’s was very professional and yet very kind at this distressing time. I couldn’t fault how we were looked after, from the day we went in to arrange the funeral to the time we left the Crematorium. Thank you so much Udens.Michael G. ★★★★★ I have lost 2 brothers, a mother and father in recent years, and Uden & Sons have managed their burials or cremations with the utmost professionalism, care and compassion. These events are awful things to go through, but having Uden & Sons by your side throughout makes a horrible process easier.Sarah N. ★★★★★ We used W. Uden & Sons for my mum's funeral as we had been given good reviews by other people in the past. I was not disappointed. Professional top service from all parties. From the day we informed them that mum had passed to the day of the funeral itself, we were treated with respect and dignity. We would not hesitate to recommend to anyone if they are looking for the best.Michele Y. ★★★★★ Once again W. Uden & Sons have dealt sympathetically and efficiently with our emotions and our relative. This is the fourth time I’ve used them....which speaks for itself.Tim P. ★★★★★ Excellent service provided by all.

Meet the Family

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.

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.

Please click here to find details of your local Registrar Office 

Who can register a death?

  • A relative 
  • A person present at the death 
  • The occupier (i.e. Matron, superintendent) 
  • The person arranging the funeral 

Call the registry office to make an appointment – you will need to take the following with you:

  • Death Certificate of the deceased
  • Medical card (if available) of the deceased
  • Birth certificate & information regarding date of birth (if available) of the deceased
  • Some money to pay for copies of the death certificate required to administer the deceased’s estate.
