A small choice can say a lot about a life lived.

Many families tell us they feel unsure when choosing a coffin or casket.

This gentle guide makes everything clearer, so you can take things one step at a time.

Choosing the right coffin is a personal decision. Some prefer the warmth of traditional wood, while others look for natural materials like bamboo or willow. In this short video, Simon Welham talks through the options available in Tunbridge Wells and explains how different styles, materials, and finishes can reflect the person you’re remembering.

If you’d like support or have questions, our team in Crescent Road is here to help whenever you need us.

Funeral Services Tunbridge Wells

Nobody teaches you how to organise a funeral.

You're grieving, exhausted, and suddenly there's decisions about crematoriums, celebrants, coffins, and costs you didn't know existed.

That's where we come in.

I'm Rebecca, and together with my dad Simon, we've been helping Tunbridge Wells families arrange funerals since 2015. We're not part of a corporate chain, just a father and daughter team who genuinely care about getting this right for you.

We handle everything:

✓ Traditional church services
✓ Cremation at Kent & Sussex Crematorium
✓ Burial services
✓ Direct cremation from £1,582
✓ All the paperwork and coordination

Our attended funeral package is £3,018.75*. Total costs typically run £5,000-£6,000 for cremation, and we'll give you everything in writing before you commit.

When you ring our number, you will speak to our Tunbridge Wells funeral arranger. When we arrange your funeral, we're there on the day. No scripts, no pressure, no corporate nonsense.

Based on Crescent Road, serving Royal Tunbridge Wells, Southborough, Pembury, and all of West Kent.

📞 Call us anytime: 01892 300330
