Local Family Funeral Director with a modern approach in Kew
When you are faced with planning a funeral in Kew, White Rose Modern Funerals are here to offer compassionate support and a modern, personal approach from day one. As an independent family-run funeral director, led by husband-and-wife founders Nick and Jacqui, we help families throughout Kew and the surrounding south west London communities make thoughtful choices that reflect the life lived and your wishes for a meaningful farewell.
Whether you are looking for the simplest no-fuss funeral, a personal service with special touches, or something deeply traditional and ceremonial, we will guide you through each step with sensitivity and choice. We’re happy to meet in person locally in Kew, or arrange consultations by phone or video call if that feels more comfortable — the first step is simply to reach out and let us listen to what you need.
As funeral directors familiar with this part of London, we work regularly with Mortlake Crematorium, a beautiful crematorium on the banks of the Thames with peaceful gardens and chapel spaces that many local families choose for their service. For those considering burial, nearby Mortlake Cemetery provides tranquil burial grounds in the local community. Families who prefer a less traditional setting may also choose alternative venues or celebration-of-life spaces that can offer privacy and comfort in a natural environment.

Find a funeral director in Kew
When you are looking for a funeral director in Kew, it is worth considering your choices. You do not have to use your most local high street firm, the important thing is to find someone that you feel comfortable dealing with.
Some funeral directors (even if the name above the door still retains the name of the original founder) will be part of a large national network such as Dignity or Co-op. Others, like ourselves, are small independent family-run firms. So always check carefully to make sure you know if you are dealing with a national business or a local independent when making your decision of who to appoint.
At White Rose Modern Funerals we are a small team and will personally help and guide you through the process – you will always know exactly who you are speaking with.
We are very familiar with the area, having helped numerous families from Kew, Barnes, East Sheen, Richmond, Fulwell, Hampton, Mortlake, St Margarets, Teddington, Twickenham and Whitton arrange a funeral for their family member.
Cremation funerals are most often held a local crematorium such as Mortlake Crematorium and we work with local cemeteries for burials. We also recommend alternative venues for funerals and welcome natural burials, especially where environmental impact is a consideration.
Call us on 020 3281 1045 and we can answer any questions you may have – or arrange an initial meeting.
