Yes, we have a chapel of rest here at our Faversham Road funeral home where you can visit your loved one in peaceful, private surroundings. Many families find it comforting to spend quiet time together before the funeral day, and you're welcome to visit as often as you need to. Our team will arrange visiting times that suit you and make sure you have all the privacy and support you need during those moments.
We regularly arrange services at Charing Crematorium, Barham Crematorium and the Garden of England Crematorium, all of which serve families in this part of Kent. Our team will guide you through choosing the right crematorium for your family, explain the timings and what happens on the day, and handle all the necessary arrangements with the crematorium directly. Many families appreciate being able to visit beforehand if they'd like to see the chapel and grounds.
We serve families across Ashford and the wider Kent area, including Canterbury, Deal and Sittingbourne. Our team has been supporting local communities since the 1980s, so we know the area well and can arrange services at churches, crematoriums and venues throughout the region. Whether your family is based in Ashford itself or one of the surrounding towns, we're here to help you every step of the way.
Yes, we arrange funerals to reflect whatever beliefs and traditions matter to your family, whether that's a religious service, a humanist ceremony or something more personal. We work with local churches including St Mary's Church and St Teresa's Church, and we're experienced in coordinating services with clergy, celebrants and faith leaders across different traditions. Our team will listen to what's important to you and make sure every detail reflects your loved one's life and values.
The first step is simply to get in touch with us, and we'll take care of everything from there. Our team will arrange to bring your loved one into our care, talk you through all the decisions that need to be made, and help you plan a funeral that feels right for your family. We've been part of the Ashford community since the 1980s, so we understand how overwhelming this time can be, and we're here to support you with patience and care throughout the entire process.
