We regularly work with families who want a religious funeral, and we have strong relationships with local churches including the Church of the Assumption RC, All Saints, and Chigwell Church of England. Whether your family follows a faith tradition or would prefer a non-religious service, we will help you shape something that truly reflects the person who died. Our team will handle all the coordination with the church or venue on your behalf.
Please know that you can call us at any time, day or night, and our team will be there to help, including bringing your loved one into our care at our Manford Way funeral home. You do not need to have any decisions made before you call us, and there is no pressure to rush anything. We will guide you gently through the paperwork and the next steps, and families in Chigwell and beyond often tell us they found that first conversation far less daunting than they expected.
Parking is straightforward when you visit us on Manford Way. We have space for two cars in our back yard, and clients can always park directly in front of the building, with free street parking and a nearby free car park available too. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and we have an accessible toilet on site, so we have tried to make visiting us as easy as possible for everyone in your family.
Yes, our funeral home on Manford Way serves families across Hainault, Barkingside, Woodford, and Chigwell itself. We have been supporting local communities since 1970, so wherever you are based in these areas, our team is here to help. Just get in touch and we will talk you through everything at your own pace.
We work with Forest Park Crematorium and the crematorium at Forest Road, Hainault, and our team will help you choose the one that feels right for your family. On the day, we take care of every detail, from coordinating the procession to liaising with staff at the crematorium so that the service runs smoothly. We are with you from the moment you leave home to the moment it is over, so you never have to navigate it alone.
