Fantastic service from start to finish. When navigating the loss of my Dad, I'm glad we chose Udens as our funeral director. Right from our initial meeting with Adam, through the celebrant we were paired with, to the funeral conductor and drivers that arrived on the day. They handled everything flawlessly, sensitively and with incredible respect.The cars were immaculate, the staff were very smartly dressed. They were also happy to drive a custom route for Dad's final journey.Whenever the next need for a funeral director sadly rolls around, I'd not hesitate to use Udens again.Thanks to all.

We can’t thank the team at the Camberwell branch enough for their kindness and professionalism during the arrangements for my mum’s funeral last week. They were caring, thoughtful, and made a very difficult time much easier for our family. Everything was handled with dignity and respect, and we really appreciated all their support. Highly recommended

Once again our funeral arrangements were handled with dignity and care. All the staff are very respectful, helpful and friendly. The service arrangements went ahead without any problems. A first class service was provided. I would recommend Udens without hesitation. The family are very grateful for a superb service at a deeply personal time.

Adam at the Bexleyheath branch could not have been more helpful. He explained everything and made, what was a really sad time, a little easier to navigate. He showed every respect to us as a family. He chose a lovely celebrant, who also showed the right amount of empathy and compassion. The funeral itself went smoothly, I am glad I made the decision to trust Uden and son's.

The funeral Ditector Jackson was a great help and comfort to the Family. Conducted the Funeral with Respect, Dignity and great direction. Friends and family commented on how well they presented and matching ties to the colour of the yellow theme, was a lovely touch. An amazing experience. Well done and Thank you

If I could give more stars I would, Udens at Sidcup were amazing, very professional and caring. From the moment I spoke to Spencer to the moment Lee walked my husband into the crem, the boys were thoughtful tentative. I can highly recommend Udens. They looked after my husband and they certainly looked after the rest of the family keeping us updated at all times in our darkest days.

Having no idea where to start with organising a funeral or which undertakers to choose, we were incredibly fortunate to have W.Uden & Sons in Petts Wood recommended to us. Their service, from beginning to end was 5 star, from the inital phone call with Allan to being dropped off at The Bull after the service. Nothing was too much trouble. Andrea took us through all our options and made everything seem so easy. The celebrant chosen by them was Sarah Sweeney.... she was an absolute angel and wrote the perfect eulogy for us, and then delivered it with both dignity and humour. The extra touches with the orange ties and making sure we were happy with the arrangements on the coffin and in the chapel were just perfect and took all the worry out of what was an emotional day. Joe and the team were very professional and respectful, the way they took the coffin out of the car and into the chapel with military precision was a feat in itself. All in all, I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Thank you all so much, especially Joe and Sarah.

We used Udens in Eltham for my husband’s funeral. From start to finish they did a fantastic job. Sarah and her team were so helpful and professional while also being very kind caring and supportive throughout.

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.
