We're a funeral home in the heart of Ramsgate, serving the communities of Broadstairs, Margate, Minster and Birchington since 1980. Our clients describe us as "patient, kind, and compassionate". These are words we live by every day as we strive to give everyone who comes to us the best experience possible when arranging a funeral.
If you need to arrange a religious or non-religious funeral or one that simply reflects someone's culture or beliefs, we can help you. We know all the local churches, places of worship and crematoriums, including St Augustine's Catholic Church, York Road Methodist Church and St Peter's Anglican Church and Thanet, Barham and Herne Bay crematoriums. We can also help you find a friendly funeral celebrant or religious leader to take the service.

We have a dedicated ground-floor arrangement room here on King Street that seats up to four people, so you can talk through everything in a calm and private setting without any need to manage stairs. If you are travelling by car, there is parking available nearby, including a car park further down King Street next to the Iceland store, though please note there is currently no wheelchair access to our premises. Our team will always do their best to make your visit as comfortable as possible, and we are happy to discuss any access needs when you call ahead.
We are available to take your call whenever you need us, and one of the first things we can arrange is for your loved one to be brought into our care here at our King Street funeral home. You do not need to have any decisions made before you contact us, and our team will gently guide you through the paperwork and next steps when you are ready. Many families find it helps simply to have someone to speak to, and we are here for exactly that.
Yes, our team on King Street, Ramsgate covers Broadstairs as well as Margate, Minster, Birchington, and Newington, so wherever you are in the local area we can be there for you. We have been serving these communities since 1980, and our clients often describe us as patient, kind, and compassionate, which is something we take real pride in. Please do not hesitate to get in touch, and we will talk you through everything at your own pace.
Absolutely, we can help arrange services at a number of local churches, including St Augustine's Catholic Church, York Road Methodist Church, and St Peter's Anglican Church. If your family follows a particular faith tradition, or equally if you would prefer something non-religious or humanist, our team will work with you to reflect what matters most. We treat every funeral as individual, and no preference is too specific for us to explore with you.
We work with three crematoriums depending on your family's wishes and circumstances, Thanet, Barham, and Herne Bay. On the day, our team will guide the procession and stay with you throughout, so you are never navigating an unfamiliar place alone. We can explain exactly what to expect at whichever crematorium feels right for your family, including journey times and what the service will look like when you arrive.
