Families in Drayton turn to us for support during some of life's most difficult times. We support people from all corners of Drayton, including Cosham, Southsea, Farlington and Copnor. We strive to give everyone who comes through our doors, or calls in for a chat, the best experience possible when arranging a funeral.
Our team are good listeners, and that's the first thing we will do when we talk with you. That way we can help you arrange the funeral that feels right. We have longstanding relationships with local crematoriums and churches like Cosham Baptist Church, St Colman's Church and The Oaks and Portchester Crematoriums. We also know many of the local religious leaders and some wonderful funeral celebrants.

Absolutely. We arrange services that reflect what matters to your family, whether that's a traditional church funeral, a non-religious celebration, or something more personal. We work closely with venues like Cosham Baptist Church, St Colman's Church and St Andrew's, and we're just as comfortable arranging humanist or civil ceremonies. Our team will listen to what you need and help shape a service that feels right.
We support families across Drayton and the surrounding communities, including Cosham, Southsea, Farlington and Copnor. Our team knows these neighbourhoods well, and we're here to help families from all corners of the area during some of life's most difficult times. Whether you're arranging from home or need us to come to you, we make ourselves available across the whole community.
We've been part of the Drayton community for over twenty years, supporting local families through bereavements and building trust over time. That experience means we understand the area, the venues, and the crematoriums really well, and families often come to us because someone they know has been looked after by our team. It's a responsibility we take seriously, and we're grateful to have served so many people locally.
The first step is simply to get in touch with us, and we'll guide you through everything from there. We can collect your loved one into our care straight away, bring them to our chapel of rest here in Drayton, and then sit down with you to talk through your wishes. There's no pressure and no rush, we'll take the time you need to make decisions and explain each step along the way.
We work with both The Oaks and Portchester crematoriums, and we'll help you choose the right setting for your family. Our team will coordinate all the details with the crematorium, from booking the chapel time to arranging the committal service. We'll walk you through what to expect on the day, explain the options available at each location, and make sure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on being together.
