As a Dad, I cannot thank Uden & sons for their care, compassion and dignity they showed when I lost my Son.They made the hardest time of my life a little easier and gave my Son the beautiful farewell he deserved. I will be forever grateful.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My family have used Uden & Sons for my Aunts funeral which we found the customer service was excellent. So when my husband died after suffering from Motor Nureone disease for nearly 4 years. There was no question who we would use.As soon as they were contacted they treated my husband with such care and respect. He left our home with dignity and care. Then when I saw Adam at Bexleyheath I was made to feel at ease. My husband wanted a traditional funeral non attended. Which Adam made sure I was able to do giving my husband all his wishes.His funeral was dealt with with such respect. He had the best send of because of the care Uden & Sons gave.
Absolutely amazing from the moment Dad was collected following his passing. I felt that dad was very well looked after by Adam, Spencer and all the Udens team.The guys were Immaculately turned out on the day of the funeral and the cars were spectacular.I would definitely recommend W Uden and sons funeral directors. They do their job with the utmost respect and dignity.
A sad and difficult situation, made easier by the professionalism and friendliness of all at Udens.Everything was carried out to a high standard and just as we wished. Thank you
This is the second time we have used W.Euden &Sons and on both occasions we have received a very professional and respectful service . Adam and Nick were so helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly . Nothing was too much trouble and they kept me informed all the way, thank you . I would definitely recommend this caring funeral directors .
We cannot thank Adam enough for all his help as we navigated the final weeks of my mother in law's life. He was incredibly compassionate, kind, and supportive throughout, always going above and beyond for our family. Adam explained everything that needed to be done with such gentleness, patience, and genuine care, making an extremely difficult time feel far more manageable. We are deeply grateful for everything he did for us during this difficult time and would wholeheartedly recommend Adam and Uden's Bexleyheath.
At a very sad time .Udens was the kindest and most caring supportive people . Nothing was a problem. They looked after mum as they promised they would do. Mum had a beautiful send off . Adam and Lee were so kind and professional. I can not thank them enough making a very hard time a bit easier.
Professional service through and through
Udens were exceptional. The care showed to us and our wishes for Mum was so excellent. The service they offered was perfect. Adam was so obliging and available.

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.
