Find a funeral director in Kensington and Chelsea

When you are looking for a funeral director in Kensington and Chelsea, 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 your area, having helped numerous families from Kensington, Chelsea, Brompton, Earl’s Court, Holland Park, Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill arrange a funeral for their family member.

Cremation funerals are most often held a local 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.
