White Rose consistently exceeded my expectations. They took the time to really get to know me and, more importantly, Christine. This enabled them to give me advice that really helped to make the funeral as perfect as I could have hoped.

How we can talk with you
London is a global community, so it is quite rare for families to live closely in neighbourhoods. We can help to organise a funeral however suits you best and often help families who are not all residing in the UK.
- In person: at our relaxed meeting room in Teddington or lovely shop in Church Street, Twickenham.
- Zoom video call: when families live in different locations locally, nationally, globally
- Phone: in particular with simple funerals, it is easy to organise everything over the phone
- Home meeting: by arrangement when local and a family member is less able
Our flexibility and how we communicate with you throughout means you are always fully informed throughout each step – please read our reviews.
Feedback from families we have helped
White Rose did an outstanding job of organising and overseeing my father’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and all the details were perfectly managed throughout. They were thoughtful and sensitive and always struck the right tone. On the day, it all went like clockwork.
Sarah Pittam
I knew from the very first contact with White Rose that they would be the ones. They took the time to understand the situation, they responded to all our needs and suggestions and provided a service which was far beyond our expectations – courteous, flexible, unobtrusive and kind.
Colin Wise
Guided us through every step of the way from the moment we contacted them with amazing communication. We didn’t know where to start and they were so careful in explaining and helping us through as it is quite a minefield if you’ve never organised a funeral before.
