We serve families across Tilehurst, Reading, Caversham and Earley, as well as the Portman Road area of Reading. Our team has been part of these communities since 2013, and we know the local churches, crematoriums and venues that matter to families here. Whether you're in the heart of Reading or the surrounding neighbourhoods, we're here to help you arrange a funeral close to home.
The first thing to do is call us on the number above, and we'll collect your loved one into our care, usually from a hospital, hospice, nursing home or their own home. From there, we'll arrange a time to meet at our Tilehurst funeral home on School Road to talk through your wishes and start planning the funeral together. There's no rush, and we'll explain everything clearly as we go. Many families are doing this for the first time, and our team has been described as patient, kind and compassionate throughout the process.
Yes, we arrange services at local churches including St Michael's Church for Church of England families, and both English Martyrs and St Joseph's for Catholic funerals. Our team will liaise with the clergy on your behalf, coordinate timings, and make sure everything runs smoothly on the day. We're experienced in religious funeral traditions and will guide you through each step with care and respect.
We work with West Berkshire Crematorium, Reading Borough Council Crematorium, and South Oxfordshire Crematorium, giving families real choice about where they'd like the service to take place. Each crematorium has its own character and setting, and we'll talk you through the practicalities of each one, timings, facilities, and how the day will run. We handle all the arrangements and paperwork with the crematorium directly, so you can focus on being with family.
Yes, we have a chapel of rest here at our Tilehurst branch where you're welcome to spend time with your loved one in a peaceful, private setting. Visiting can be an important part of saying goodbye, and we'll arrange appointments at times that suit you and your family. While we don't have a dedicated service venue on site, we work closely with local crematoriums and churches across Reading, Caversham and Earley to hold meaningful services in the right place for you.
