Questions and answers

We have many years of experience arranging funerals for families from a wide range of faiths and cultures, including Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Catholic, African, and Travelling community traditions, among others. Our team will take the time to listen carefully to your wishes and work with you to create a service that truly reflects your loved one's beliefs and the customs that matter most to your family, whether that involves St Paul's Catholic Church or another venue of your choosing.

We are here around the clock, so please do not hesitate to call us at any time, day or night, and one of our team will answer and talk you through everything calmly and without any rush. We can arrange to bring your father into our care from wherever he has died, and when you are ready, you can come and sit with us at our arrangement room on Victoria Crescent, where we have space for up to six family members, to begin planning the funeral together.

Our funeral home on Victoria Crescent has level access throughout, including a ground floor arrangement room and an accessible toilet, so everyone in your family can feel comfortable when they visit us. There is one hour of free restricted parking directly outside, and several payable car parks are close by for those who need a little longer with us, which we find most families do.

Yes, our funeral home on Victoria Crescent serves families across Dover, Whitfield, Coldred, and River, and we are very familiar with the roads and communities in and around this part of Kent. Whether you are in the heart of Dover or in one of the surrounding villages, our team will come to you and guide you through every step at whatever pace feels right for your family.

We work with Barham Crematorium and Hawkinge Crematorium, both of which serve the Dover area and offer a calm, dignified setting for a cremation service. On the day, our team will take care of all the arrangements, including the procession from wherever your family gathers, so that you can focus entirely on being together and honouring your loved one.
