You do not need to have everything figured out straight away, and our team is here to guide you through each step as it comes. When you are ready to call us, we will arrange for your loved one to be brought into our care, whether that is from a home in Walmer, Betteshanger, or Deal itself, and we can talk you through the paperwork and registration process at a pace that suits you.
We cover a wide area from our funeral home on Queen Street in Deal, including Sandwich, Betteshanger, St Margaret's at Cliffe, and Walmer. Whether you are close to home or a little further out along the coast, our team will come to you and make sure your family receives the same level of care wherever you are.
Our funeral home on Queen Street has two on-site parking spaces, and there is also street parking nearby along with a paid car park within easy reach. We have disabled parking available directly opposite the funeral home, and the building is fully wheelchair accessible with a ground-floor arrangement room and an accessible toilet, so every member of your family can be comfortable when visiting us.
We have a long-standing relationship with a number of churches in the area, including St Leonard's, St Andrew's, St Mary with St Saviour, and St Thomas of Canterbury, and we are happy to liaise directly with the minister or officiant on your behalf. If you would prefer a non-religious service or something that reflects a particular tradition or belief, we can arrange that too and will take the time to understand what matters most to your family.
We work with both Barham Crematorium and Thanet Crematorium, and we will help you decide which feels right for your family based on location, timing, and the kind of service you have in mind. On the day, our team will travel with your loved one in the procession and stay with your family throughout, so you are never navigating it alone.
