About Us
At Francis Chappell & Sons Funeral Directors in Upper Norwood, we understand how important it is to get things right when it comes to saying farewell to those we love.
Being trusted with your loved one's funeral arrangements is not something we take lightly. We will look after everything for you, organising every detail with heartfelt kindness and the best quality of care.
We can arrange any kind of service, no matter how simple or elaborate. From a traditional, religious service to a colourful woodland burial that celebrates their life, whatever you think is right for your loved one, we will be able to help you. After all, a funeral is a personal event that can be a sentimental reflection of life.
Our founder, John Chappell, began trading as a cabinet marker in Deptford, 1840. Since then, four generations of the Chappell family have helped our funeral directors grow and flourish to be a trusted and renowned part of South East London.
We are local to Norwood, Sydenham, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace and Kingswood Estate, serving families from these areas and many more.
Christmas can be a difficult time of year, especially so for those who are grieving. We warmly invite you to join us at one of our Memorial Carol Services. Local staff will be on hand to welcome you, and there will be an opportunity to remember your loved one by lighting a candle, if you wish. Afterwards, you are welcome to stay and have a cup of tea or coffee with us. Please call us to find out more details of our Memorial Carol Services.
We are here for you, every step of the way. Please call us today on 020 8653 0492 at any hour.
