Colin ★★★★★ W.Uden & Sons have played an important part for the Young Family in the taking care of both my parents (these past years) on their passing and then their final journey. 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. I cannot thank W Udens and sons enough for making a sad occasion memorable and a perfect send off for our loved ones. Thank youWendy T. ★★★★★ Excellent support and service throughout both before and on the day! Thank you.3pw C. ★★★★★ Very kind, efficient and compassionateVera F. ★★★★★ I was so glad we chose W.Uden's to look after our dear mum's funeral arrangements. Darrell dealt with everything in a very kind, patience and professional way. I felt supported throughout and this certainly made a very sad and difficult time less stressful.Matt B. ★★★★★ Brilliant. Faultless. Impeccable. The Bentleys were next level. Thank you.Peter K. ★★★★★ Nigel, Dean and their team, worked perfectly in coordinating my mother in law’s send off, in fact, this will be the third time we have used them. 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. The day went very smoothly and special thanks to Jo our celebrant who spoke so well and seemed to have captured Dad’s character from talking to us before the day.

I would like to express my gratitude for their care to him and us.Sarah W. ★★★★★ We gave our beloved mum Diane into the care of Udens for them to look after her until the time of her funeral. They could not have been more helpful and kind at the most difficult time.

On the day of funeral all the drivers and pall bearers looked immaculate and treated mum with all the respect she deserved.

Adam (the manager) put us at ease and made such a sad situation as easy as possible to deal with. Adam really cares for those he looks after and their families. He pulled out all of the stops and brought Mum into his care as soon as he could and quicker than we expected. Knowing Mum was being looked after by him and his team gave us a lot of comfort at a very distressing time.

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. Learning that Lee had been the one who collected Mum and driven her home to Kent for us, made it even more personal.Highly recommended.Phil L. ★★★★★ Uden & Sons looked after my father after his passing and were professional throughout.They were friendly, approachable and understanding during this difficult time and helped through the formalities and processes when losing a loved one.Linda V. ★★★★★ My brothers and I felt at ease and calm the moment we walked into Udens Camberwell office, Matthew was very proffessional and talked us through everything, to ensure we understood what to expect.

Our thanks to you all.gordonpam R. ★★★★★ When my husband died, I looked at the local funeral organisations and read what previous clients had said about local firms. Most were good but Uden had exceptional references. We chose Petts Wood, as it was close by.It was an over whelming time, with no previous experience to help us decide what we wanted and how we would find the different organisations to make this special.We had a meeting with Chris at Uden and he helped us to make our funeral special for my husband. 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. All were brilliant.So, our funeral was unique and special with the help of Uden and all those that helped us. We were in very safe ‘hands’ and good value too.We did my husband proud!julie A. ★★★★★ They went above and beyond for my dad absolutely fantastic serviceJACKS ★★★★★ Thank you all, especially Spencer for a very respectful funeral for my dear husband.From arriving at the house, at the exact time you showed compassion and respect throughout.You all have exceeded your reputation in every way.Thank you.Jackie and family.Holly C. ★★★★★ We are so happy we picked w uden and sons to take care of our loved one .

Kate came to our home and guided us step by step through the whole process of arranging the funeral, the eulogy and what was needed from us as a family. She was very kind and had a lovely approach to preparing and delivery my Father’s eulogy. The while Udens team including the pall bearers and drivers were also very respectful and gave great supportive at a very difficult time.

Thank you again Udens.Anna C. ★★★★★ My sister and I were really dreading making the funeral arrangements for my Mum but Kate, Andrew and all the team at Udens Petts Wood were so kind, gentle and helpful that it was actually a really positive experience. No question was too small or silly to ask. They really went out of their way to help us and Mum's funeral felt so important and special to them. I also really liked the premises as they were modern and bright. The fact that we just had to choose a package and make choices within that package, made it so much simpler and it was easy to follow.

I cannot thank the team enough as their contribution was so significant in making the day turn out to be a wonderful day to remember.Jessica F. ★★★★★ Uden & Sons have showed love, respect and a high level of care for our family on two separate occasions over the last year. They are professional and compassionate. All of our dealings with all of the staff were made comfortable and pleasant by their knowledge and expertise. Alongside the above, the financials were transparent and the logistics for both the day and afterwards were fully explained. I would recommend them wholeheartedly and can not think of a single improvement they could make.Helen Davies P. ★★★★★ We were recommended Uden & Sons by family members as they have a local reputation for being very good, calm and professional.And they were right. Uden supported us in making all of the arangements for our late mother Margaret and took great care of her, and us. On the day of the funeral from when the attendant walked in front of the hearse to bring her to the house, to when they took us and lots of her flowers (!) to the wake venue, they were kind, courteous, professional and personable, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. 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.

She took the time to understand our needs, providing not just a service, but a deeply personal experience that exceeded our expectations.Sophie's professionalism and warmth were a true source of comfort during a difficult period. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly were evident in every interaction. It's not often that you find someone so genuinely committed to helping others navigate such a sensitive and emotional journey.On the day of my mother's funeral, Friday the 29th of September 2023, Lee stepped in with an amazing display of care and support. His attention to detail and ability to manage every aspect of the service were truly impressive. Lee went above and beyond to ensure that our family felt taken care of, allowing us to focus on remembering and celebrating the life of our loved one. I’d also like to add, that he was a breath of fresh air for my father, making sure that he was uplifted.Uden and Sons, through the exceptional service of individuals like Sophie and Lee, provided more than just a funeral service—they provided solace, understanding, and a genuine connection during a time when it mattered most. I wholeheartedly recommend Uden and Sons Funeral Home for their outstanding team, who turned a challenging experience into one of remembrance, support, and comfort.Forever thankful.Duncan M. ★★★★★ Honestly the best family run business we have ever been fortunate to use.They cared for my Mother in law and Father in law on their last journeys with the ultimate dignity and respect.Nothing was too much from the very first phone call to the final goodbye.Everyone from the office to Spencer and his team were comforting and professional.A true callingkaren S. ★★★★★ Udens were professional and efficient but also very kind and considerate in arranging my father's funeral.

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.

I have been treated with such kindness and gentle care. NOTHING is too much trouble for them. On two very stressful days I didn’t need to worry about anything - Matt and then Stanley had everything under control. All I needed to do was show up! I knew that I was in good - safe - caring hands.

Having chosen them for my mothers funeral arrangements in 2006, I returned to them upon my fathers passing last month.

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.

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.

They took care of every little thing for me and made my Husbands funeral a perfect and memorial day. The feedback from people who attended the service was very very positive. I would like to thank Lee for the caring way he looked after us and Doug the driver for a smooth and comfortable ride in the lovely cars and the other gentleman who carried my Husbands coffin. Their empathy towards us was outstanding and every little detail was catered for, even down to tissues on our seats and Lee wearing his top hat when the procession started.

You could see how much they cared about their work. The Udens are a loyal and dedicated family who really do consider it a privilege to look after those who have passed and their grieving families.

Sophie was most helpful as we were hosting the funeral ourselves. She downloaded the music and went to great lengths to accommodate our chosen music which wasn't all easy to find. Everything we needed to do was thoroughly explained at the crematorium beforehand . The funeral itself went on far longer than the time allocated as many people wanted to express their thoughts . The staff at the funeral never interrupted the proceedings or made us feel awkward always being helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Uden's who acted with professionalism, courtesy and friendliness.

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.

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.

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.

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.Lee K. ★★★★★ 5 star service throughout from collection of my dad at our home to setting up all areas of the service. We were all treated respectfully and like members of the Uden wider family. Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts xxxxDebbie 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!Sara M. ★★★★★ The loveliest people. They were so kind to us at the worse time of our lives. The gentleman Nigel at Biggin Hill is so well suited to his role & he clearly cares. We can't recommend Uden & sons more highly. Thank you for everything Nigel. Katherine & Neil, Baby Diego's Mum & DadStewart 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.Lynne G. ★★★★★ What a lovely service Udens provided for our dear dad, the Team even wore ties of my dad’s favourite football team. They also did my mum’s service 5 years ago and again did a wonderful job. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Udenssusan 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.

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.

FAQs

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.
