We regularly arrange funerals across a range of faiths and denominations, including Roman Catholic, Church of England, Methodist and Pentecostal services. Our team has long-standing relationships with churches and faith communities throughout East Ham and the surrounding areas, and we will work closely with your minister, priest or celebrant to make sure the service truly reflects your loved one's beliefs. If you have a particular church or venue in mind, just let us know and we will coordinate everything.
You can call us at any time, day or night - our team is available around the clock to come to you, whether your loved one has died at home, in hospital or elsewhere in the East Ham area. We will bring your loved one into our care on High Street North and talk you through the paperwork and next steps at a pace that suits you. There is no need to have everything figured out straight away; we will be with you from the very first call.
We have a chapel of rest at our funeral home on High Street North where you are welcome to spend quiet, private time with your loved one before the funeral. Everything is on the ground floor, and we have full wheelchair access and an accessible toilet, so the space is comfortable for all members of your family. If you are travelling from across East Ham or coming in from further away, there is a council-run underground car park close to the funeral home as well as street parking nearby.
Our funeral home on High Street North is well placed to support families across Plaistow, Canning Town, Upton Park, Manor Park and the wider East Ham area. We have been caring for local families since 1950, so our team knows these communities deeply and can be with you wherever you are. Whether you are arranging from nearby or from further afield, we are always available to help.
We work with a number of crematoriums depending on your family's wishes and location, including City of London, East London, Manor Park, Forest Park and South Essex. On the day, our team will travel with your loved one to the crematorium and guide your family through every part of the service, from arrival to the committal. We take care of all the practical arrangements so that you can focus entirely on being together and saying goodbye.
