We have strong working relationships with local churches including St Alphege Church and All Saints Church, and we are just as experienced in arranging non-religious and civil services for families who prefer a more personal or secular farewell. Whatever reflects the life of the person who has died, our team will help you shape a service that feels true to them and meaningful for everyone who attends.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and our team will come to you, whether you are in Whitstable, Swalecliffe, or anywhere in the surrounding area. We will take care of bringing your dad into our care and can guide you gently through what needs to happen next, including the paperwork and registering the death, so you do not have to face those first difficult hours alone.
We work with Herne Bay, Faversham, and Barham crematoriums, and our team will help you choose the one that feels right for your family. On the day, we will arrange the procession from wherever you wish, whether that is from a family home in Tankerton or from our funeral home on High Street, and we will be with you every step of the way to make sure everything runs as you have planned.
We have one parking space directly outside the funeral home on High Street, and if that is in use, Middle Wall Car Park is a payable car park located directly behind us and is very straightforward to reach. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and the building is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet, so please do let us know in advance if anyone in your family has any access needs and we will make sure everything is comfortable for your visit.
Our funeral home on High Street serves the whole of the local area, including Seasalter, Swalecliffe, and Tankerton, so wherever you are based, our team can be with you. We know this coastline and its communities well, and being genuinely local means we can support your family from the very first call through to the day of the service.
